Modular Series




Fully modular system for maximum requirements

The Modular Series from AKG Acoustics is being used worldwide and has proven its worth for many years. It brilliantly fulfils the three key requirements that are essential for sound system applications.

Modularity: Depending on the specific purpose, "special wishes" can often be fulfilled only by modular systems. The AKG Modular Series offers a choice of five capsule modules with different polar patterns and frequency responses. A wide range of goosenecks and installation modules is also available. Besides, there are special-purpose modules for applications that are not covered by any other products available. They can be used as wireless or lavalier microphones as well as for single-user applications.

Reliability: A wide range of features minimizes the risk of operating errors, material fatigue, or signal dropouts. The LED ring and self-cleaning gold-plated contacts for the threaded connections are standard, as are anti-twist cables (HM 1000) and a switchable bass rolloff filter.

Low profile: The extremely compact design and matte finish underscore the inconspicuous appearance of the Modular Series. The low-profile installation modules ensure quick setup and takedown of all versions of the Modular Series. The excellent response and extremely good intelligibility make the Modular Series the first choice whenever quality and reliability have top priority. Small wonder that decision makers all over the world appreciate AKG as a professional partner.

Added reliability: maximum contact area
The size of the contact area between the microphone capsule and the gooseneck determines the reliability of the entire installation. Instead of the failure-prone conventional point contacts, all Modular Series products use large-area, self-cleaning gold plated contacts that engage in groove-andtongue fashion. In addition, a hard, rugged thread stabilizes the joint. The extremely deep groove of the thread prevents misalignment and ensures long useful life of all Modular Series products even if they are used in installations that are frequently reconfigured or in mobile systems. A seemingly small detail, this feature will make your work definitely easier.

Added reliability: tested for stability
A high quality gooseneck bends precisely into the desired shape and is resistant to inadvertent readjustment. This stability of shape depends entirely on consistent resilience of the springs inside the gooseneck. Therefore, all Modular Series Gooseneck Modules are subjected to a rigorous quality test during which they are bent into extreme shapes and must keep their shape until bent again. Any gooseneck that does not pass this test is rejected immediately.

Added reliability: useful indicator LED
All Installation Modules provide an LED ring. A world first, it uses special circuitry to operate off standard phantom power or a separate power supply. The LED ring indicates system status: System Standby Mode: In this mode (factory default), the LED ring glows dimly to indicate that the system has been wired correctly and phantom power is on. Thus, the operator will know at a glance whether the hardware has been installed correctly. There is no need to test each microphone. Mic On Mode: When powered from an external supply, the LED ring can be configured such that it will only light when the microphone is on. (All Installation Modules except for E versions) Off: If none of the above functions is desired, the LED ring can be deactivated. In this mode, it is practically invisible.

Added reliability: hidden controls
The phantom power adapter contains two jumpers that let you activate a 200 Hz bass rolloff and deactivate the LED ring. Since the jumpers are hidden inside the adapter case they cannot be realigned unintentionally.
