Description

D5:

D5S:

The AKG D 5 is a supercardioid dynamic micro-

phone. It has been designed specifically as a vo-

cal microphone for rough onstage use. The wide

frequency response of the D 5 slightly favors the

midfrequency and treble regions to ensures

good intelligibility of speech. The term "supercar-

dioid polar response" means that the D 5 is most

sensitive to sound arriving from in front of it, less

sensitive to sound arriving from the sides and rear.

This pickup patter n is virtually the same for all fre-

quencies or, in other words, from the lowest to the

highest notes ("frequency independent").

A shock mount on the transducer minimizes han-

dling and cable noise. An integrated windscreen

reduces pop, wind, and breath noise to a mini-

mum.

A rugged front grill made of spring-steel wire mesh

that is extremely resistant to deformation and a

sturdy zinc alloy die-cast body effectively protect

the microphone and transducer element from

damage on stage and on the road.
