Condenser-quality sound with no loss of level when you turn your head.

Headset condenser microphone with maximum dynamic range for 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. The C 520 provides the perfect solution for any performer needing a handsfree microphone.

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.

Requires phantom power.

Features:

This is my 2nd headphone mike I purchased and I like the fact

that the mike is always right with me. I'd recommend it to

anyone. The wires are wearing out due to wear and tear, I've

been using this product for about 10 years. I still use the 1st

one but I now have a spare just in case I need it.

Thankyou very much. Emil Schanta Jr.

I recently purchased this mic based on the specs, also because I wanted to eliminate carrying mike stands around. I use this mike with my newly purchased JBL eon 210p.The mike and PA are a perfect match. I play a Martin d-28, Podium anniversary ,with a fishman rare earth blend into a acoustasonic 30 and I run the martin through the pa as well. The akg mike is the best I,ve ever owned , I own a shure SM 58 also but the akg c520 runs circles around the SM58. I bought the c 520 akg new from Muscians Friend ,I am more than pleased with it.
