Miniature cardioid condenser clamp-on microphone with shock mounted capsule.

Ideal for miking drums and percussions
Including wireless direct adapter for easy use with AKG pocket transmitters
Detachable microphone cable
Integrated gooseneck
Continuously adjustable vise type clamp

The ultimate miniature condenser microphone for drums and percussions. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects overspill from nearby instruments. A continuously adjustable vise-type clamp makes it easy to fix the microphone securely on the top hoop of most drums or percussion instruments. An external shock mount provides high mechanical-noise rejection. A special snap-on stabilizer knee will keep the gooseneck bent at a defined angle. The C 518 M features an integrated, switchable bass cut for adjusting the microphone’s frequency response to your instrument’s sound.

The unique adapter plate A 400 allows easy attachment of the AKG pocket transmitters.

Versions:
C 518 M for external phantom powering
C 518 ML for use with the B 29 L battery power supply, AKG WMS Series bodypack transmitters, or the MPA V L adapter for external phantom powering.
