Broadband flat audio reproduction in the AKG C417 lavalier microphone is ideal for broadcast and theater applications. The C417 is a miniature condenser clip-on microphone designed for professional projects such as live broadcasts, theatrical performances, or other on-stage or live sound applications. Its broadband, flat audio reproduction provides an open, natural result that’s great for vocals, speech, and instruments and integrates seamlessly into either wireless or hardwired multi-mic systems.
Enjoy maximum mobility during your performance—all in a mic that’s nearly invisible to the audience. This professional lavalier mic’s compact, low-profile build makes it easy to inconspicuously secure it to clothing, while its light weight ensures optimal comfort for the performer, artist, or presenter. But don’t let its small size fool you: the C417 is designed to deliver professional-caliber audio in the most demanding situations. Its wide frequency range extends from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Its omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound from all directions with consistent quality. It offers low distortion at high sound pressure levels, meaning even louder sounds are faithfully captured. In addition to being a great mic for speech, the C417’s balanced sound characteristics make it equally ideal for achieving natural instrumental audio.
The C417 comes in two models which are differentiated by their connectors:
- The C417 PP features a standard XLR connector
- The C417 L provides a professional three-pin mini XLR connector compatible with bodypack transmitter models from all AKG wireless microphone systems
Included in the box with the AKG C417 microphone are a tie clip and tie pin for secure attachment and positioning, an external windscreen for reducing noise from breath or plosives, and a microphone bag to protect it from dust or other debris when not in use.

About Lavalier Microphones at Sound Productions
Lavalier microphones are miniature mics specifically engineered for capturing audio discreetly, while providing hands-free operation and flexibility of movement. Lav mics are also called lavs, lapel mics, clip mics, body mics, collar mics, neck mics, or personal mics. A great choice for stage use, their low-profile design also makes it easy to keep your audience’s focus on your performance.
Popular in TV, theater, interviews, and stage environments such as houses of worship or lecture halls, lavalier microphones are ideal for applications where you need hands-free versatility while maintaining optimal sound quality. Easy to camouflage, lavs are generally attached on or beneath clothing and can be clipped into hair for a virtually invisible mic placement for actors, singers, public speakers, and more. With options that are built to resist water, sweat, and makeup, lavalier mics are designed to deliver the quality and reliability you require, day after day.
Give your vocals great scope in a small package with lavalier microphones from Sound Productions. Lightweight and flexible, headworn mics come in a wide range of styles, polar patterns, and offer a variety of accessories to ensure you find the model that best fits your needs. Choose between an earset option (which rests on one ear) or a headset (which rests on both) for a secure, comfortable fit.
