DESCRIPTION

−

The AKG C518M is a miniature clamp-on condenser microphone designed for close-miking drums and percussion, giving engineers a consistent, well-isolated signal without the clutter of extra stands. It suits drum technicians, live sound engineers, recording engineers and percussionists who need repeatable placement night after night.

A cardioid polar pattern rejects spill from adjacent kit pieces and stage wedges, keeping toms, snare and congas defined in a dense mix. The integrated clamp mounts directly to drum rims and hoops, while the flexible gooseneck allows precise angling towards the head and rapid re-positioning during changeovers. A full-metal body and housing withstand the knocks of touring and rehearsal rooms, and the balanced XLR output connects straight into any console, stage box or preamp supplying phantom power, with no proprietary interface required.

  • Miniature condenser capsule with cardioid pattern for high isolation between kit elements
  • Integrated clamp fits standard drum rims and percussion hoops, freeing up stage floor space
  • Flexible gooseneck for accurate capsule placement and quick adjustment
  • Full-metal microphone body and mount for road and installation durability
  • Standard XLR output operating on phantom power from consoles, stage boxes and preamps

A dependable choice for live events, touring, broadcast, studio and rehearsal applications, as well as houses of worship and education facilities running permanent drum rigs.
