1 Description
1.5 Brief
Description
D5:
The AKG D 5 is a supercardioid dynamic microphone. It has been designed specifically as a vocal microphone for rough onstage use. The wide
frequency response of the D 5 slightly favors the
midfrequency and treble regions to ensures
good intelligibility of speech. The term "supercardioid polar response" means that the D 5 is most
sensitive to sound arriving from in front of it, less
sensitive to sound arriving from the sides and rear.
This pickup pattern is virtually the same for all frequencies or, in other words, from the lowest to the
highest notes ("frequency independent").
A shock mount on the transducer minimizes handling and cable noise. An integrated windscreen
reduces pop, wind, and breath noise to a minimum.
A rugged front grill made of spring-steel wire mesh
that is extremely resistant to deformation and a
sturdy zinc alloy die-cast body effectively protect
the microphone and transducer element from
damage on stage and on the road.

2 Interfacing
The microphone provides a balanced output on a
3-pin male XLR connector:
Pin 1: ground
Pin2:hot
Pin3:return
You can connect the microphone either to a balanced or an unbalanced microphone input.
• To connect the microphone to a balanced input
(XLR connector), use a commercial XLR cable.
• To connect the microphone to an unbalanced
microphone input (1/4" jack), use a cable with a
female XLR connector and a 1/4" TS jack plug.
Please note that unbalanced cables may pick
up interference from stray magnetic fields near
power or lighting cables, electric motors, etc.
like an antenna. This may cause hum or similar
noise when you use a cable that is longer than
16 feet (5 m).
