LIVE/TOUR SOUND
PERFORMANCE MICROPHONES
Professional performance microphones have
always had to meet extremely high requirements that
became even more stringent during the past decade
as wireless technology made its breakthrough.
Performance microphones must be extremely
rugged, insensitive to humidity and temperature
variations, and easy to use. Ease of service is as
important a criterion as a powerful sound and a wide
choice of specialized models for miking up the vari-
ous instruments and creating a unique sound.
For more than five decades, AKG has been making a
complete line of performance microphones that have
demonstrated their superior quality in day-to-day
use and are considered live sound standard items
by now. Innovative technologies including the
Varimotion diaphragm or WMS 40 miniature trans-
mitters make AKG microphones a sound, future ori-
ented choice, made by one of the largest micro-
phone manufacturers in the world.
That unique live sound
Many musicians spend their lives searching for that
individual style and unique sound. The best way to
reach this goal is to keep experimenting, testing
new products and to be open for new, unconven-
tional solutions.
Musicians handling their own sound and sound engi-
neers share this goal, using microphones as tools to
realize their personal sound. Experience is the
magic word and that’s why it is so difficult to give
hard and fast rules for selecting and placing micro-
phones. In any case, your ears and your own judg-
ment have the final say as to what sounds good and
what doesn’t. Therefore, AKG offers a wide choice of
microphones for every application, every type of
room and every instrument.
