AKG CONDENSER SOUND QUALITY

The C7 microphone features a custom-tuned super-cardioid condenser capsule with hand-selected components, so your voice is reproduced with pristine clarity and sparkling highs. The C7 also handles incredibly high sound pressure levels, for maximum fidelity during your loudest performances.

OPEN-SPACE CAPSULE TECHNOLOGY

The C7 mic’s innovative open-space capsule technology delivers a perfect super-cardioid pattern across the entire frequency spectrum that virtually eliminates on-stage feedback.

PROPRIETARY SHOCK ABSORBER SUSPENSION

The C7 features a proprietary mechano-pneumatic shock absorber suspension that ensures handling noise won’t clutter your sound. The capsule sits on top of a unique rubber, preventing vibrations from reaching the capsule.

MULTI-LAYER POP NOISE PROTECTION SYSTEM

The C7 features a three-layer pop noise rejection system to protect your vocals from annoying plosives. This multi-layer system includes the proprietary mic grill, dense foam underneath the grill, and a mesh layer that encases the capsule.

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

With extremely rugged zinc alloy construction and spring steel grill, the C7 stands up to the most demanding tour schedules. And its 24-karat gold plated capsule protects the microphone against moisture and corrosion.
