OVERVIEW 6
Step on stage with a studio legend. With the new C636, AKG has evolved the legendary C535 for the today’s rigorous requirements of live
performance by adding innovative new approaches to handling noise, pop and feedback rejection. Offering the pure studio sound you’ve grown
to love and housed in a worry-free durable housing, you can now focus on your vocal performance—not on the performance of your microphone.
Made with hand-selected components and manually tuned for a pure, transparent tone, the new C636 retains the spirit of the classic AKG C535
condenser microphone, while meeting the demands of the world’s top vocal performers.
KEY MESSAGES 6
STUDIO-QUALITY SOUND
By keeping the C535 sound untouched, the C636 captures your sound
unfiltered and uncompressed like no other mic on the market.
FEEDBACK ELIMINATION
Uniform cardioid polar pattern throughout the entire frequency spectrum
combined with a specially designed suspension and grille for the capsule
essentially eliminates feedback.
WORLD’S FIRST DOUBLE SHOCK
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Highly absorbent rubber and an adjustable balancing network cancels vibrations over a wide frequency range, reducing unwanted handling noise.
MULTILAYER PROTECTION SYSTEM
Unique 3-layer protection system prevents unwanted pop noises—providing
singers with a clear, plosive-free vocal performance.
STAGE RELIABILITY
Robust, zinc-alloy housing with a spring steel grille and 24-carat gold-plated
capsule, the C636 is extremely rugged and durable enough to last a lifetime
of performances.
