C544 L Head-Worn Condenser Microphone

The AKG C544 L is a head-worn condenser microphone built for gymnastics instruction, spin classes, yoga, pilates, and other hands-free speech work where movement is constant. A transducer shock mount keeps body noise to a minimum, and its short microphone arm places the capsule close to the mouth to cut down on pop and breathing noise. A moisture shield on the boom keeps sweat and makeup from clogging the capsule during a hard workout.

Its miniature, easily fitting headband stays secure through jumps, turns, and quick direction changes, and the package includes a windscreen to tame wind and breath noise further. A 3-pin mini XLR connector lets the C544 L pair with any AKG WMS Series body-pack transmitter, so instructors can move freely across a studio floor or stage without holding a mic.

With a cardioid polar pattern, a frequency range of 80 Hz to 20 kHz, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 63 dBA, the C544 L delivers a clear, present voice over music and class chatter alike. At just 30 g, it disappears on the head during fast-paced routines. Beyond fitness studios, it suits sound reinforcement, assisted listening, presentations, and retail settings that call for a discreet, secure, hands-free microphone.
