The AKG C535 EB is a cardioid condenser microphone designed for vocals and instruments. It delivers studio-quality sound while remaining rugged enough for live performance. Its frequency response covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz with high accuracy, and it handles high sound levels without distortion. It operates with phantom power (9 to 52 V) and features an internal 4-position selector switch to adjust sensitivity and filter bass as needed. Its design incorporates a steel grille with a pop filter and an internal shock mount that reduces handling noise. Compact and robust (46 mm diameter, 161 mm length, approximately 300 g), the C535 EB is suitable for both live performances and studio recordings.
