D 5/D 5 S
Extremely rugged vocal/speech microphone
Available with or without on/off switch
Patented AKG Laminated Varimotion diaphragm
Spring steel wire-mesh grill
The D 5 dynamic vocal microphone for lead and backing vocals delivers a powerful sound even
on the noisiest stage. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback (for
more details, visit
www.feedbackisdead.com). The D 5 stands for a crisp sound that cuts through
every mix.
AKG made the first microphone diaphragm ever whose thickness varies across its diameter. The
new Laminated Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm itself to be
fine-tuned with no extra tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance.
The dual shock mount eliminates any kind of mechanical noise for trouble-free live use. The
audience will hear nothing but the pristine sound of your voice!
Available versions:
D 5: for standard applications.
D 5 S: with on/off switch.
D 5 WL 1: D 5 microphone element with threaded connection for use with AKG wireless
systems.
