OVERVIEW ■ 
After many years of experience with AKG´s best sold lapel microphone C417 it was time to use all the learnt facts and create a new generation. 
The output of this development is the brand new LC617 MD. It is the perfect tool for presenters and actors, being reliable and performing 
exceptional sound, even in rough environments. More and more wireless systems in the low to mid price range are based on 2,4 GHz technology 
causing nasty interference with microphones. The new LC617 MD is well protected against those problems. 
The main improvements of the new versions are the exceptional RF shielding and the ability to fit to all major wireless systems on the market. 
AKG offers 2 versions - black and beige. The black one is designed to be worn by presenters with a tie clip on a suit or tie. The beige version is 
meant to be mounted in an actor’s mask. 
APPLICATIONS ■ 
PRESENTERS 
Perfect tool for all presenters in corporate, education and governmental markets 
ACTORS 
Ideal for actors and singers on theater and musical stages
