MSRP: $428 Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone

AKG Acoustics C 418

Description

  • Miniature hypercardioid condenser clip-on microphone with shock mounted capsule
  • Ideal for miking drums and percussion
  • Microphone arm with additional angle joint

The C 418 miniature condenser clip-on microphone has a specifi- cally tailored frequency response for drum and percussion miking applications and is an alternative to the C 419 for loud trumpets. Its hypercardioid polar pattern rejects leakage from nearby instruments. A solid clamp makes it easy to fix the microphone securely on the instrument. The H 418 allows you to attach the microphone on top hoops that may be too thick for the integrated clamp. The C 418 shock-mounted capsule provides high mechanical-noise rejection while withstanding even the heaviest drumstick blows. A two-angle adjustment arm ensures precise microphone alignment.

C 418 PP: for hardwire applications, with standard XLR connector for phantom powering.

C 418 L: With mini XLR connector for use with B 29 L battery operated power supply, MPA III L external phantom power adapter, or AKG WMS bodypack transmitters. Weighs only 62 g.

The AKG Acoustics C 418 is also known as: C418, C 418.
