AKG D-5

Tired of fighting double kick drums, 7-string guitars, 8-string basses and horn sections that refuse to take a breather? This is the mic for you.

The D 5 dynamic vocal microphone delivers a powerful sound even on the noisiest stage, while offering a smooth frequency response as well as maximum gain before feedback thanks to its supercardioid polar pattern. It features AKG's new Laminated Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process that lets the diaphragm itself be fine-tuned with no extra tuning resonators, giving you a much crisper, cleaner sound than conventional designs. Its dual shock mount eliminates any kind of mechanical noise for trouble-free live use.
