Description

The AKG C7 is a premium hand-held condenser vocal microphone that brings studio-grade clarity to the stage. Designed specifically for live performance, it delivers pristine, detailed vocals while resisting feedback, handling noise and plosives, making it ideal for lead and backing singers who demand a polished, professional sound night after night. Unlike many condensers that are too fragile or too sensitive for loud stages, the C7 has been purpose-built for touring. Its custom supercardioid capsule, advanced shock absorption and multi-layer pop protection work together to keep your vocal front and centre, even in challenging live environments with loud bands and powerful monitors. Studio Clarity On Stage At the heart of the C7 is a custom-tuned supercardioid condenser capsule with hand-selected components, voiced to capture every nuance of your performance. You get the open, sparkling high end and articulate midrange you would expect from a studio microphone, but in a robust, hand-held format that feels instantly familiar on stage. The capsule also handles very high sound pressure levels, so you can sing with full power without unwanted distortion. Excellent Gain Before Feedback AKG’s open-space capsule design gives the C7 exceptional gain before feedback, even on loud stages with multiple monitors. Two window ports along the capsule increase air flow, allowing for a lighter, thinner capsule that maintains a tight supercardioid pattern across the full frequency range. The result is a focused pickup of your voice with reduced spill from drums, guitars and wedges, so you can run your vocal louder in the mix with confidence. Low Handling Noise The C7 features a proprietary mechano-pneumatic shock absorber suspension that isolates the capsule from vibrations. The capsule is mounted on a unique rubber system that prevents bumps, stand noise and hand movements from travelling up into the audio path. This keeps your vocal sound clean and controlled, even if you like to work the mic dynamically during your performance. Effective Pop Noise Rejection A three-layer pop noise protection system ensures plosives and breath blasts are kept firmly under control. The specially designed grille, dense internal foam and a mesh layer around the capsule work together to diffuse air bursts before they reach the diaphragm. This means fewer distracting pops and less reliance on external pop shields, helping your vocal stay smooth and consistent throughout the set. Key Features Custom Supercardioid Condenser Capsule – The finely tuned supercardioid capsule captures your voice with studio-like detail, clarity and airy high end, while maintaining strong rejection of off-axis sound so your vocal remains clear in a busy live mix. Open-Space Capsule Design – Twin window ports increase air flow through the capsule, delivering a precise supercardioid response across the frequency spectrum. This provides excellent gain before feedback, allowing you to run your vocal louder without squeals. Mechano-Pneumatic Shock Absorber – The capsule is mounted on a dedicated rubber suspension system that stops handling and stand noise from reaching the diaphragm, keeping your signal clean even when you move the mic around on stage. Multi-Layer Pop Noise Protection – A three-stage system of grille design, internal foam and capsule mesh effectively tames plosives and breath noise, so your consonants stay articulate without harsh pops or thumps in the PA.
