Description
From Our Catalog
The D 5 dynamic vocal microphone for lead and backing vocals delivers a powerful sound even on the noisiest stage. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback. The D 5 stands for a crisp sound that cuts through every mix.
AKG made the first microphone diaphragm ever whose thickness varies across its diameter. The new Laminated Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm itself to be fine-tuned with no extra tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance.
The dual shock mount eliminates any kind of mechanical noise for trouble-free live use. The audience will hear nothing but the pristine sound of your voice!

D 5: for standard applications.
D 5 S: with on/off switch.

AKG D5 Dynamic Supercardioid Handheld Microphone Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"The AKG D5 is a lot of mic for the money."
Feature:
It's a basic dynamic mic so not much in the features dept.
Quality:
Again, this rating is for a $100 mic, I think these are made in China, but they seem pretty sturdy, I've had one of my D5s for at least 2 years or so, no problems, still sounds great.
Value:
Great mic for the money
Desirability:
I think it's a nice looking mic, has a good heft to it, so those things add to its "sex appeal".
Sound:
This is a beautiful mic for the money, open, airy. I own three and am planning to buy a couple more, I've replaced the Shures I was using for stage mics. Everybody sounds better through these.
Ease of Use:
Even singers with less than mic technique seem to do well with the D5 (it picks up sound well from a distance, very sensitive).
Overall:
I feel like I have found my mic and I've been a musician for 25+ years.
