Head-worn
Microphone
The new C 444 L headset microphone from AKG is rugged, extremely easy to use, and provides incredible price/performance.
New cheek pads make sure the C 444 L will stay in place, no matter how quickly or suddenly you move your head, and a shock
mount suppresses unwanted handling noise. A response peak at 10 kHz and a rolloff below 800 Hz ensure perfect voice
reproduction and intelligibility even in noisy environments. A newly designed moisture shield ensures consistent audio at any
time as it prevents perspiration from seeping into the transducer.
• Extremely easy to use.
• Secure and comfortable fit
• Perspiration-proof
• High rejection of ambient noise
• Fully compatible to AKG WMS 80
and WMS 81
Architect’s and Engineer’s Specifications
The head worn microphone shall be extremely light
weight and rugged. The capsule shall be protected
against sweat and water by a drip ring. Presence boost
and low cut shall improve intelligibility and environmental noise protection. In working distance the frequency
response shall be linear at the low end. The microphone
shall accept from 1 to 10 VDC. The response of the
microphone shall be 20–20,000 Hz. The microphone
shall have a sensitivity no less than 40 mV/Pa (28 dBV),
and the total harmonic distortion (THD) at an operating
acoustical level of 126 dB shall be no greater than 1 %.
The electrical impedance of the microphone shall be no
greater than 200 Ω. The net/shipping weigth shall be
30/200 g (1.1/7 oz.). A windscreen shall be included.
The microphone shall be the AKG C 444 L.
