Improved Signal/Noise:
Hush.
In order to match the high standard of today's digital live sound and recording equipment,
we improved the microphone pre-amp for the MicroMic III Series again. As a result,
its signal/noise ratio is 6 dB better than that of the previous design.
B 29 L and B 15:
Power to Your Mic. Anytime.
The new MicroMic III Series comprises an expanded line of
accessories.
The B 29 L mini mixer will power two MicroMics if your mixing console
provides no phantom power. The B 29 L features a mic/line output level
selector, mini XLR inputs, a standard XLR output, and an on/off switch.
The new B 15 battery supply connects to the C 430 overhead mic and
all other MicroMic versions with an XLR connector with integrated
phantom power adapter.

“On the
Deep Purple World Tour 2000,
we used an
80-piece symphony orchestra
and miked up
part of the strings
with C 411 pickups.
Without the AKG MicroMics,
it would have been impossible
to get a clean mix
with a rock band
like Deep Purple
and a symphony orchestra
playing together.”
