PROFESSIONAL MINIATURE CLAMP-ON CONDENSER MICROPHONE
www.akg.com/pro Issued: 4/2018
The C518 professional miniature clamp-on microphone is the ultimate tool for
recording of drums and percussion. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects overspill
from nearby instruments. A continuously adjustable vise-type clamp makes
it easy to fix the microphone securely on the rim of drums or percussion
instruments. A special snap-on stabilizer keeps the gooseneck in a defined
position.
The MPAV from C518 M features an integrated, switchable bass cut for
adjusting the microphone’s frequency response. The C518 ML package
includes a mini-XLR cable and the unique A400 adapter plate for easy
mounting onto wireless body-pack transmitters PT40/45/450/470.
