KEY MESSAGES
AKG CONDENSER SOUND QUALITY
The C7 microphone features a custom-tuned super-cardioid condenser capsule
with hand-selected components, so your voice is reproduced with pristine clarity
and sparkling highs. The C7 also handles incredibly high sound pressure levels,
for maximum fidelity during your loudest performances.
OPEN-SPACE CAPSULE TECHNOLOGY
The C7 mic’s innovative open-space capsule technology delivers a perfect
super-cardioid pattern across the entire frequency spectrum that virtually
eliminates on-stage feedback.
PROPRIETARY SHOCK ABSORBER SUSPENSION
The C7 features a proprietary mechano-pneumatic shock absorber suspension
that ensures handling noise won’t clutter your sound. The capsule sits on
top of a unique rubber, preventing vibrations from the housing from reaching
the capsule.
MULTI-LAYER POP NOISE PROTECTION SYSTEM
The C7 features a three-layer pop noise rejection system to protect your vocals
from annoying plosives. This multi-layer system includes the proprietary mic grill,
dense foam underneath the grill, and a mesh layer that encases the capsule.
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
With extremely rugged zinc alloy construction and spring steel grill, the C7
stands up to the most demanding tour schedules. And its 24-karat gold plated
capsule protects the microphone against moisture and corrosion.
