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).

3 Using Your Microphone

3.1 Introduction

3.2 Working

Distance and

Proximity Effect

A handheld vocal microphone provides many
ways of shaping the sound of your voice as it is
heard over the sound system.
The following sections contain useful hints on how
to use your microphone for best results.

Basically, your voice will sound the bigger and
mellower, the closer you hold the microphone to
your lips. Moving away from the microphone will
produce a more reverberant, more distant sound
as the microphone will pick more of the room’s re­verberation.
You can use this effect to make your voice sound
aggressive, neutral, insinuating, etc. simply by

changing your working distance.
Proximity effect is a more or less dramatic boost

of low frequencies that occurs when you sing into
the microphone from less than 2 inches. It gives
more "body" to your voice and an intimate, bass­heavy sound.

3.3 Angle of
Incidence

Refer to fig. 1.

Fig. 1: Typical mi-

crophone position.

Sing to one side of the
microphone or above
and across the micro­phone’s top. This pro­vides a well-balanced,
natural sound.
If you sing directly into
the microphone, it will
not only pick up exces-

sive breath noise but
also overemphasize "sss", "sh", "tch", "p", and "t"
sounds.

3 Using Your Microphone

The term “feedback” means that part of the sound
projected by a speaker is picked up by a micro­phone, fed back to the amplifier, and projected
again by the speaker. Above a specific volume or
"system gain" setting the sound system will start
howling and the sound engineer will desperately
dive for the master fader to reduce the volume and
stop the howling.
To increase usable gain before feedback, the mi­crophone has a supercardioid polar pattern. It is
most sensitive to sounds arriving from in front of it
(your voice) while picking up much less of sounds
arriving from the sides or rear (from monitor
speakers for instance).
To maximize gain before feedback, place the main
("FOH") speakers in front of the microphones
(along the front edge of the stage).
If you use monitor speakers, be sure never to point
any microphone directly at a monitor or FOH
speaker.
Feedback may also be triggered by resonances
depending on the acoustics of the room or hall.
With resonances at low frequencies, proximity ef-

fect may cause feedback. In this case, it is often
enough to move away from the microphone a little
to stop the feedback.

3.5 Backing
Vocals

Fig. 3: Two

vocalists sharing a

microphone.

1. Never let more than
two persons share a
microphone.

2. The microphone is
very insensitive to off­axis sounds. If the
two vocalists were to
sing into the micro­phone from an angle
wider than 35 de-

grees, you mayend up bringing up the fader of
the microphone channel far enough to create a
feedback problem.

4 Cleaning

• To clean the surface of the microphone body,
use a soft cloth moistened with water.

1. Unscrew the front grill from the microphone
CCW.

2. Remove the windscreen from the from grill and
wash the windscreen in soap suds.

3. Allow the windscreen to dry overnight.

4. Replace the windscreen in the front grill and
screw the front grill on the microphone CW.

5 Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Remedy

No sound. 1. Power to mixer

and/or amplifier is
off.

2. Channel or master
fader on mixer, or
volume control on
amplifier is at zero.

3. Microphone is not
connected to
mixer or amplifier.

4. Cable connectors
are seated loosely.

5. Cable is defective.

1. Switch power to
mixer or amplifier
on.

2. Set channel or
master fader on
mixer or volume
control on ampli­fier to desired
level.

3. Connect micro­phone to mixer or
amplifier.

4. Check cable con­nectors for secure
seat.

5. Check cable and
replace if dam­aged.

Distortion. 1. Gain control on

mixer or transmit­ter module not set
correctly.

2. Mixer input sensi­tivity too high.

Microphone sound

becomes duller by

and by.

• Internal or external
windscreen atten­uates high fre­quencies when
soiled.

1. Set gain control to
stop distortion.

2. Insert 10 dB preat­tenuation pad be­tween microphone
cable and input.

• Clean internal or
external wind­screen.
