AKG C535EB Bedienungsanleitung Seite 12

Description:
The C 535 EB cardioid condenser microphone was designed especially
for professional vocal and instrumental work both on the stage and in
the studio.
The C 535 EB has proven to be ideally suited for all situations placing
high demands on the sound quality and the robustness of a micro-
phone. The superior design of the microphone, tailored strictly to the
requirements of the music scene, offers to the user a number of advan-
tages, including an extended frequency range, negligible distortion
even at high sound pressure levels, insensitivity to structure-borne
noise, trouble-free operation even in extreme temperatures and humid -
ity, and robust construction. Its weight being evenly distributed over its
compact size, the microphone does not in any way encumber the user –
mainly the vocalist – when working with it.
The high quality condenser transducer is screwed into an elastic
suspension element. This arrangement effectively prevents handling
and cable noise from being transmitted. The excellent transient
response of the microphone results from the use of extremely thin
diaphragm materials which made it possible to reduce moving masses
to about 2 milligrams. The result is brilliant, transparent, and faithful
reproduction of voices and instruments.
The sturdy steel wire-mesh front grille will take the kind of punishment
the microphone receives during stage work and protects the transducer
against mechanical damage. An additional foam lining will suppress
pop noise and wind noise created by wind instruments.
A built-in mode switch enables you to adapt the microphone's fre-
quency response and sensitivity to a variety of recording situations.
As a safeguard against unintentional activation, the switch is re-
cessed in the microphone shaft. Use a small screwdriver or similar
12
object to adjust the desired switch
position.
The switch offers four different positions:
0 dB – concenser microphone output
level (7 mV/Pa), flat, overload
limit: 130 dB SPL.
0 dB consenser microphone output
level (as above) with bass-cut
filter below 100 Hz slope:
12 dB/octave.
Applications: mainly instrumen-
tal recordings, for reducing
unwant ed low frequency struc-
ture-borne noise.
