AKG’s handheld C7 Vocal Condenser Microphone delivers pristine sound reproduction and enhanced high-end. Precision-engineered circuitry and custom-designed components allow this mic to protect your performance from common audio problems such as feedback, spill, handling noise, and pop and plosives. Additionally, this condenser mic is built to endure incredibly high sound pressure levels for exceptional results in the most high-volume performances.
Enjoy studio-quality sound while performing live on-stage. The C7’s custom-tuned condenser capsule utilizes innovative open-space capsule technology: an inner-capsule holder and three window ports reduce air turbulence and inner reflections at the capsule’s rear. This results in a consistent supercardioid polar pattern throughout the entire frequency spectrum, allowing you to aim your mic toward the sound you want to capture while rejecting feedback and spilling from surrounding noise sources.
Feature-packed to expertly minimize handling noise and vibrations. The C7’s proprietary mechano-pneumatic shock absorber suspension ensures handling noise won’t clutter your sound. The capsule rests on a rubber insert to protect your sound from mechanical vibrations. Finally, a three-layer pop noise rejection system—comprised of a proprietary mic grille, dense foam, and mesh layer around the capsule--guards against pops and plosives by absorbing the air directed toward the capsule before it reaches it.
Take the unparalleled quality of condenser mics on the road with confidence. The C7 boasts a rugged zinc alloy construction and spring steel grille, while the capsule is plated with 24-karat gold to protect against moisture and corrosion.
Included with the C7 microphone are a stand adaptor and microphone bag.

About Condenser Microphones at Sound Productions
Achieve professional polish to your studio sound with condenser microphones from Sound Productions. A condenser microphone uses a capacitor that converts sound vibrations into electric currents. It is characterized by increased sound sensitivity than a dynamic mic, enabling it to capture more natural, detailed audio from vocals and instruments.
Use a large-diaphragm condenser mic (sometimes called a “capacitor mic”) to optimize the sound of vocals, acoustic guitar, and ambient room audio. Alternatively, choose a small diaphragm condenser mic (or “pencil mic”) for acoustic instruments including guitars, classical instruments, cymbals, and drum overheads. The smaller capsule and lightweight build make it easy to place perfectly in almost any miking application, while the consistent polar pattern makes a pair of small-diaphragm condenser mics the perfect choice for stereo miking.
Compared to the other popular option of dynamic microphones, condenser mics are louder, pick up a wider frequency response, and enjoy an expansive dynamic range—all aspects that make them ideal for studio recording.
