AKG MICROPHONES AKG introduced a number of new microphones. The C-562 is a newly developed microphone and could have widespread applications in the theatre. It is a Boundary Layer Microphone which looks like a flat round plate 6.25" in diameter. It is a condenser transducer that is phantom powerable with 9-52 volts. You can actually walk on it without damaging it although AKG does not necessarily recommend such treatment. It is similar to a PZM but has nothing protruding upward. Frequency range is 20-20kHz, and sensitivity at 1kHz is -33clBV It sells for $435. The AKG C747 is a "Pencil-type" Condenser Microphone. It is a miniature hypercardiod no larger than a pencil with 5.3" interference tube. It also looks like a microphone that could have a lot of theatrical applications because of its very small size. The frequency range is 30-18000Hz with a sensitivity of lOmV/Pa. The price is $400. The AKG 1000S is a hand-held stage-quali ty cardioid microphone with intemal9V battery power supply that provides the highest quality specs available. It features a recessed accident-proof on/off switch and can be phantom powered with 9-52 volts. The ClOOOS costs S325. The AKG D90S is a rugged cardioid designed for vocal and instrument applications. It is similar to the D310S with a locking on/off switch. It costs $150. The AKG D95S microphone is the same as the D90S but has a hypercardiod capsule for tighter pickup and greater feedback rejection. It costs $160. The AKG C40l/C402 is a new vibration condenser pickup that can be mounted directly to any acoustic string instrument body. The C4011B is for low- to mid-frequency and the 4021B is for mid- to high-frequency pickup. A B9 power unit supplies phantom power and mixing for both units. The frequency range for the C40l/B is 1O-5000Hz and the frequency range for the C402/B is 2500-20,000Hz. They cost S85 and S95 respectively.
