Move around or dance on stage? The AKG C520L headworn condenser mic is for you! A shockmount for the transducer minimizes unwanted handling noise.

Overview

The AKG C520L is a head-worn condenser microphone with a maximum dynamic range for a perfect vocal sound. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively rejects unwanted ambient noise. An ideal choice for frontmen, singing keyboardists, drummers, guitarists, and dancers. The microphone arm mounts either on the left or right side of the headband as desired.

A transducer shock mount reduces handling noise to a minimum. The moisture shield prevents perspiration from penetrating into the transducer element,ensuring a high degree of humidity protection for the microphone.

Features:
- Head-worn microphone with continuously adjustable behind-the-neck headband
- External shock mount for high mechanical-noise rejection
- Miniature gooseneck for precise positioning near the user’s mouth
- Microphone arm provides choice of left or right-hand use
