AKG C411 PP Dynamic Microphone

AKG C411 PP Dynamic Microphone

4,435 EGP

The AKG C411 PP is a miniature condenser vibration pickup microphone designed specifically for use with acoustic string instruments like guitars, mandolins, and violins. It is not a dynamic microphone as the name in the query might suggest, but a condenser (pre-polarized) type. 
Key Features
  • Vibration Pickup: Instead of picking up ambient sound pressure waves like a standard microphone, it uses a transducer to directly capture mechanical vibrations from the surface of the instrument, which helps to minimize feedback and background noise in live or studio settings.
  • Clear Sound: Its integrated condenser capsule is designed to reproduce the natural sound of the instrument clearly and without coloration.
  • Ultralight Design: Weighing only 18g (0.6oz) (without the cable and connector), it is designed to attach on or near the bridge of the instrument with an included non-marking, solvent-free adhesive pad without changing the instrument’s balance.
  • Connectivity: The “PP” version features an integrated MPAV phantom power adapter with a standard 3-pin XLR connector for connecting to a mixer or audio interface that provides 9 to 52 V phantom power.
  • Polar Pattern & Frequency Range: It has a figure-8 (bidirectional) polar pattern and a wide frequency range of 10 Hz to 18 kHz to capture fine musical details
