RECORDING MICROPHONES
14
There is no “universal microphone” for every kind of
sound source, and there are no hard and fast rules
for professional miking. There are many factors that
need to be considered to achieve the desired sound.
Therefore, AKG developed a variety of studio and
broadcast microphones that give perfect results in
every recording situation. AKG recording microphones
include the optimum tool for any kind of recording
room acoustics, any kind of instrumental playing
technique, and any kind of miking technique, and
always deliver perfect audio to analog or advanced
digital equipment.
Let the wealth of timbres you can get by placing dif-
ferent microphones in different ways inspire you, and
develop your own personal, unmistakable sound.
Recording microphones from AKG will support your
efforts with more than fifty years of experience and
acoustic competence built into them.
PROVEN STUDIO TECHNOLOGY FOR
PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS
The legendary original, handmade
AKG 1-inch capsule of a vintage
C 12. This microphone still
achieves extremely high prices on
the second-hand market today,
and some collectors use it as a
capital investment.
Just as every instrument and voice
have unique individual timbres, every
AKG condenser microphone has its own
unmistakable sound. AKG large-
diaphragm designs provide a warm,
smooth, and silky sound that cuts
through any mix, while AKG small-
diaphragm designs deliver an
extremely accurate, crisp sound. Every
model has its own “personality”.
Producers therefore use a number of
different microphones in order to give
their productions a personal touch. A
single “universal microphone” could
never reproduce such a rich spectrum
of timbres.
We therefore recommend listening to
and trying many microphones. Let
your ears make the choice.
Timbres and colors – the art is yours.
