With its new Discreet Acoustics Compact
Series (DAC), AKG offers a cost efficient
alternative for installations where a lean
budget has top priority. This is why the DAC
Series goosenecks come with only one
flexible section, a rigid connection between
gooseneck and capsule, and a 3-pin stan-
dard XLR connector for joining the goose-
neck to the cable.
The Discreet Acoustics Compact Series
offers a user-friendly system that fulfils its
basic functions just perfectly. While an
excellent price-performance ratio was
achieved by focusing on essential features,
no compromise was made with regard to
the sound of the capsules.
Each of these capsules provides the out-
standing, “legendary” AKG sound that
enjoys worldwide popularity and accounts
for the company’s success. Acoustic excel-
lence made in Austria by AKG!
You can choose between goosenecks 30
or 50 cm (12 or 20 in.) long, with either a
cardioid or hypercardioid polar pattern, and
a cardioid hanging module. For the tough
requirements of everyday usage, the DAC
Series features rugged all-metal parts and
is designed as a true plug-and-play solu-
tion. Quick setup and takedown as well as
permanent installations all are possible.
The new Discreet Acoustics Compact
Series is the unique alternative for applica-
tions where budget, not modularity, is a
major consideration. Moreover, the
Compact Series can be combined with the
Modular Series, so that modules with addi-
tional features can be used as well wherev-
er they are actually needed.
Compact: The integrated capsule
A special feature of the new Discreet Acoustics
Compact Series is that the gooseneck and micro-
phone capsule form an inseparable unit. The
rugged metal front grill is joined permanently to
the gooseneck, the contacts inside are soldered.
This protects the delicate condenser capsule
against mechanical stress and electromagnetic
interference, and ensures maximum reliability and
excellent audio.
Compact: The basis
The gooseneck foot features an XLR connector
with gold-plated contacts, making connecting
and mounting incredibly easy. The metal case
also houses the electronic components of the
microphone. The extra-strong flexible section lets
you position the microphone precisely as
required.
