AKG C516-ML Instrument Condenser Microphone

I have been using this microphone on the keys side of my accordion for nearly a year now, gigging once or twice every weekend.

The movable arm offers flexibility but it still sturdy, so has made life experimenting best placement for an accident prone newbie Accordionist nice and easy!

Mini XLR leads are fragile but the one provided is nice and long, so with enough slack and a few pieces of electrical tape in the right places, I am confident to place it wherever on my accordion.

I could not recommend this product enough, especially for those who like to move whilst playing accordion and aren't quite tech savvy enough to install a microphone inside. I will definitely be looking in to purchasing one for the bass buttons in the new year!

AKG C516-ML Instrument Condenser Microphone

Voor accordeon: *****
Live: geluidstechnici zijn het er unaniem over eens dat ze amper meer iets hoeven te doen met het signaal. Accordeon ligt direct super in de mix.
Studio: Heb veel verschillende microfoons gebruikt, deze werken gewoon ook voor in de studio perfect. Ontzettend functioneel. Voor deze prijs bizar. Zou ze nooit inruilen.
Nadeel: Vind het bevestigen niet ideaal. Ziet er niet superstrak uit, dat plakspul laat wat sporen na (wel schoon te krijgen). En ik ga geen schroefjes in mijn accordeon boren.
Draadloos nooit geprobeerd. Let wel op dat je verloopkabeltjes nodig hebt voor de mini-xlr.
