AKG D5 C Vocal Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

From small live gigs to large performance halls, the AKG D5 C dynamic microphone is one you can depend on. The cardioid polar pattern makes it a versatile companion for vocals while working to minimize feedback onstage.

The D5 C works harder and handles more power than it needs to for vocals, so you can hit the stage confident you’ll sound your best. It can withstand sound pressure levels up to 160 dB, a much higher threshold than even the most explosive vocals cross. An internal dual shock mount eliminates handling noise so the microphone itself stays quiet.

Excellent sound quality is ensured with the patented laminated Varimotion diaphragm. This design element of the D5 C provides a crisp sound that cuts through any mix.

About Dynamic Microphones at Sound Productions

If you’re looking for an all-purpose, heavy-duty microphone, look no further than a dynamic microphone. Equally outstanding in both the studio and live on stage, dynamic mics are an affordable, versatile, and classic option for nearly every miking application. Popular uses include live performances, studio recordings, man-on-the-street style interviews, as well as podcasts that aim for a professional “radio voice” polish.

Dynamic microphones work using a coil attached to a magnet. When sound waves cause the coil to vibrate up and down against the magnet, an electromagnetic current is induced; in simple terms, this turns the sound into an electronic signal to be channeled into a recorded version or—in the case of live sound—into a speaker to distribute the sound to the audience.
