DESCRIPTION

−

The AKG C430 is a miniature condenser microphone built for overhead and cymbal work, giving drum kits and percussion a crisp, detailed top end without the bulk of a full-size studio microphone. It suits engineers working in tight drum risers, permanently installed kits and touring rigs where sightlines and stand real estate matter.

Its frequency response is tailored specifically for cymbal and overhead miking, so useful results are typically achieved with the channel EQ left flat. The capsule handles high sound pressure levels comfortably, making it equally at home close to a hi-hat or above a busy kit. Power comes from either phantom supply or an internal battery, which is useful when working with older consoles or portable recorders. The compact body mounts securely on standard commercial microphone stands, and the microphone is rated for trouble-free use on open-air stages.

  • Frequency response tailored for cymbal and overhead applications
  • High SPL handling for close percussion and drum kit work
  • Phantom powering or battery operation for flexible system integration
  • Extremely compact MicroMic body that keeps sightlines clear
  • Secure mounting on all commercial microphone stands

A practical choice for live events, touring, theatre, broadcast, studio and rehearsal rooms, and for fixed installations in houses of worship and education venues.
