AKG D5 CS Microphone - Cardioid Dynamic Mic

AKG D5 CS Microphone - Cardioid Dynamic Mic is a professional stage microphone designed for reliable vocal performance; its rugged metal housing and classic cardioid pattern make it a go-to choice for live gigs and rehearsals.

This AKG D5 CS delivers a frequency response from 20 to 17000 Hz, capturing clear vocal presence while controlling unwanted background noise, thanks to its cardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the sound source and rejects off-axis sound.

The microphone features a balanced XLR-3 output and wired connectivity, ensuring low-noise signal transmission to mixers and stage preamps. It requires DC power and recommends a load impedance of 2000 Ω with a minimum terminating impedance of 600 Ω for optimal operation.

With a sensitivity of 2.6 mV/Pa at 1 kHz, the D5 CS provides reliable level output suitable for live sound environments. The robust metal construction and blue finish give it stage-ready durability and an identifiable visual style.

Measuring 185 mm in height, 5.1 cm in diameter and weighing 320 g, this dynamic mic is comfortable to handle and durable enough for regular transport and stage use. Its cardioid directionality makes it especially effective at reducing feedback on loud stages.

Typical use cases include lead and backing vocals on stage, spoken-word performance, live streaming with professional audio chains, and use in rehearsal spaces where durability and feedback rejection are important.

Key selling points: reliable cardioid rejection, metal housing, balanced XLR output, wide frequency range, and stage-ready durability make the AKG D5 CS an excellent choice for live performers.
