C520 L Head-Worn Condenser Microphone

The AKG C520 L is a head-worn condenser microphone built for hands-free vocal pickup on stage or at the podium. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects ambient noise while the condenser capsule sits on a flexible shock mount that keeps mechanical and body noise out of the signal. A moisture shield covers the capsule to block perspiration, so the C520 L holds up through sweaty sets and long presentations alike.

The headband is lightweight and adjustable for a comfortable, secure fit, and the microphone arm mounts on either the left or right side, so performers can position the capsule exactly where they need it. A 3-pin mini XLR connector ties the C520 L into any AKG wireless body-pack transmitter, giving frontmen, singing keyboardists, drummers, guitarists, and dancing performers full freedom of movement without a handheld mic getting in the way.

With a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz, a sensitivity of 5 mV/Pa, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 63 dB-A, the C520 L captures a clean, accurate vocal signal even in loud rooms. At 26 g and finished in matte black, it stays out of sight on camera and disappears once it's on. It fits speeches, conference presentations, worship services, fitness classes, and live music, anywhere a speaker or singer needs both hands free and a mic that keeps up.
