AKG Acoustics GmbH

C 5900M

  • High quality condenser performance microphone
  • Spring steel wire-mesh grill for extreme ruggedness and reliable control of pops and wind noise
  • Internal spider-type shock mount for handling noise suppression
  • Bass cut filter and 0/+6 dB output level selector for precise level matching

The C 5900M combines the sound of AKG studio microphones and the rugged body design of the EMOTION/TRIPOWER Series. A switchable bass cut filter minimizes stage rumble and an output level selector lets you boost the microphone’s output level to drive less "sensitive" inputs.

The C 5900M supercardioid condenser mic provides a superb high end, high resolution, and excellent transient response for a fabulous sound.

The package includes the microphone, a stand adapter and a hard shell road case.

The microphone shall be a studio-quality hypercardioid condenser microphone. It shall include bass rolloff and +6-dB output level selectors for adjusting the microphone's frequency response and sensitivity to the application at hand. The transducer shall use an extremely thin, gold sputtered diaphragm to ensure excellent reproduction and transient response. The transducer shall be shock mounted in a 3-point suspension to suppress footfall, handling, and cable noises. A complex internal windscreen system shall protect the microphone from wind and pop noise. The frequency range of the microphone shall be 20 Hz to 20 kHz, its sensitivity at 1 kHz 6 mV/Pa, max. SPL 142 dB SPL (for 3% THD), signal/noise ratio 74 dB (A-weighted). The microphone shall measure 50 mm in dia. x 186 mm long, be finished in matte black, and weigh 290 g.
The microphone shall be the C 5900M made by AKG.
