AKG Acoustics D5S manual Description

1 Description

1.5Brief The AKG D 5 is a supercardioid dynamic micro- Description phone. It has been designed specifically as a vo- cal microphone for rough onstage use. The wide

D 5: frequency response of the D 5 slightly favors the midfrequency and treble regions to ensures good intelligibility of speech. The term "supercar- dioid polar response" means that the D 5 is most sensitive to sound arriving from in front of it, less sensitive to sound arriving from the sides and rear. This pickup pattern is virtually the same for all fre- quencies or, in other words, from the lowest to the highest notes ("frequency independent").

A shock mount on the transducer minimizes han- dling and cable noise. An integrated windscreen reduces pop, wind, and breath noise to a mini- mum.

A rugged front grill made of spring-steel wire mesh that is extremely resistant to deformation and a sturdy zinc alloy die-cast body effectively protect the microphone and transducer element from damage on stage and on the road.

D 5 S: The D 5 S has the same mechanical, electrical, and acoustic characteristics as the D 5 and fea- tures a noiseless on/off switch.
