Instrumental microphone AKG C518 M

AKG C518 M

Musicians who have mixed tracks know how difficult it can be to get the sound right. Nowhere is this problem more apparent than in the case of string instruments. It's especially difficult to record the complex tones and notes they create. And the more complex the string instruments (violin, mandolin, etc.), the more difficult it is to reproduce them accurately through the microphone. The AKG C411 L, however, attempts to make recording string instruments much easier.

AKG C518M is a high quality, miniature microphone designed for capturing drums and percussion instruments for crucial recording and live sound applications. The C518M features an adjustable vice that allows mounting on the top ring of toms, snare drums, congas, and much more. The cardioid polar pattern reduces feedback and minimizes noise and leakage that may occur from adjacent instruments. An adjustable gooseneck provides stable microphone placement and a low-cut filter reduces low-frequency noise, rumble, etc.
