Rugged Mic for the Serious Vocalist!

When you need a ridiculously RUGGED handheld vocal microphone to take with you onstage, don't look any further. The AKG C 5 is your rock-solid, pro-level vocal condenser microphone. It's tailored to help your voice cut through ANY mix. Don't waste your time on microphones that can't hang. You want the nice presence boost and tight pickup pattern the AKG C 5 is all about. That way, you sound awesome and you sound awesome without inducing any feedback. That's the point, right?

Plus, to make sure you get the best-possible transmission and resistance to corrosion, AKG hooked the C 5 up with a 24-carat gold-plated transducer case plus an XLR connector module with 24-carat gold-plated pins. You'll appreciate the excellent build quality once you start gigging all the time. Plug a cable into it, unplug it... whatever's good — the C 5 is going to sound awesome and keep on sounding awesome.
