"A dynamite hand-held stage condensor."

Feature:
Has a very nice 4-position bass rolloff feature. You can dial in just the right amount of bottom end to suit your needs.

Quality:
This mic is solid as a rock. I've used one on the road regularly for about 5 years now without a hitch.

Value:
For the money, this is perhaps the best stage condensor mic a person can own. You can spend a whole lot more and not get nearly as good a sound.

Desirability:
This mic is a bit smaller than most hand held stage mics, and considerably smaller than most large diaphragm studio mics, but sounds as good or better and works well for both applications.

Sound:
For the money, this is possibly the best all around condensor mic on the market! I have over 30 years experience as a lead vocalist, and this mic flat out blows every other mic away I've used in the past. It is warm, accurate, and reproduces every little vocal nuance.

Ease of Use:
The bass rolloff is a little bit difficult to adjust. It requires a pen or some other small instrument to move the button that sits in a recessed hole. However, frequent adjustments aren't really necessary.

Support:
I have never had to deal with the company regarding this product, but AKG is a reputable company.

Overall:
I can't imagine finding a better sounding microphone that is equally good for stage or studio. Sometimes the most expensive equipment isn't always the best. I would replace this mic instantly if it were lost or stolen. The main reason I bought it was because I learned it was used as a stage mic by both Sting and Paul McCartney. Enough said?

""Simply the best"....buy it, you won't find better for the money."

Feature:
Small, light and compact.

Quality:
We used two, on the road, in various countries and climates for many years,as stated above....no problems, ever.

Value:
It is expensive...but a great mike.

Desirability:
"sex appeal"?!....It is a functional piece of gear...not a 25 yr old, size 10 blonde!:)

Sound:
As an ex pro vocalist/guitarist I used this mike for about eight years with no problems whatsoever and so did my pro singing (female)partner, who has only recently 'retired', after eighteen years with one....!! We used it to record the voals on a live album some years ago and it produced a better result than previous studio recordings. 'Live', we used with a Bose/Studiomaster PA and had CD quality 'live' sound long before CDs were common! Needless to say, I recommend this product as the finest vocal mike I know of...certainly at this price. After a gap of some years from performing, I am just about to buy another of these mikes.

Ease of Use:
Connect...and sing!Adjust for personal taste and voice...easy.

Support:
Never had cause to!

Overall:
Many years ago, before buying, we tried all kinds of mikes and this one won, hands down. asthetically, it could be better and it looks very dated...not surprising as it has been around a long time!

About This Product!
Description
Docs
From Our Catalog
The C 535 EB has the clean, open characteristic of AKG's best studio condensers, enhanced by a 2dB rise between 7 and 12kHz to project vocals in front of the mix.

An integral 4-position switch tailors output level and bass roll-off for a variety of uses. A sharp LF cut at the full output level reduces pops and handling noise in vocal applications, while a more gradual roll-off at the reduced output is ideal for most instrument applications. The C 535 EB requires 9-52 V phantom power.

The C535EB features a switchable 14 dB pre-attenuation pad and 6 dB/octave bass roll-off at 500 Hz. The microphone comes with black finish.
