C 419


  • Microphone for wind instruments
  • Miniature gooseneck for accurate microphone alignment
  • Transducer shock mount reduces handling and cable noise

    • This condenser clip-on microphone has been designed specifi-cally for wind instruments including saxophone, trumpet, trom-bone, tuba, etc. The C 419 is also en excellent choice for per-cussions such as Udu drums, cajón, and frame drum, or as an alternative to the C 418 on the snare drum. A frequency-inde-pendent hypercardioid polar pattern reduces spillover from neighboring instruments to a minimum. A rubber coated clamp ensures easy attachment to the bell of a horn or the sound hole of a cajón, and a 4.3-inch (110-mm) adjustable gooseneck allows precise microphone alignment.

    C 419 PP: For hardwire applications, with standard XLR connec-tor for phantom powering.
    C 419 L: With mini XLR connector for use with B 29 L battery operated power supply, MPA V L external phantom power adapter, or AKG WMS bodypack transmitters.
