Custom-tuned supercardioid condenser capsule
The AKG C7 is a high-end, handheld condenser microphone designed for live vocal performances. The studio-quality sound is down to the custom-tuned supercardioid condenser capsule, complete with hand-selected components. The result is pristine audio fidelity with sparkling highs and a pronounced low-end for a full bodied sound.
The C7 can also handle high sound pressure levels, ensuring your audio fidelity remains in-tact, even when pushed to its limit. One of the most unique features of the C7 is the open-space capsule technology. This is comprised of a specially designed inner-capsule holder and three window ports, reducing air transference and inner reflection for improved audio performance. This helps to minimise feedback and spill, whilst in use.
Shock absorber suspension
Another unique feature of the C7 is the proprietary mechano-pneumatic shock absorber suspension. This helps to eliminate handling noise, retaining your natural harmonics for improved audio performance. The capsule is situated on top of a unique rubber insert, helping to prevent vibrations from the housing. The specially-picked rubber material provides strong absorptive characteristics.
Enhanced pop filter
The integrated three-layer pop noise rejection system helps to eliminate sibilance and plosive noises while you perform. This is paramount for studio-quality vocals, helping to retain the natural sound of your voice whilst improving the overall tone. The multi-layer design is comprised of the mic grill, dense foam and a mesh layer that’ surrounds the capsule. Each layer combats against the air directed toward it, absorbing unwanted noise before it gets the chance to hit the capsule.
Sleek, rugged construction
Ideal for both stage and studio applications, the AKG C7 features an ultra-rugged construction that is ideal for prolonged and extensive use. The body of the microphone is constructed from robust zinc-alloy, with a spring steel grill. The 24-karat gold plates capsule helps to protect your microphone from corrosion and moisture damage. The sleek exterior not only looks good but is designed to withstand the rigors of use on the road. This helps to combat against bumps, scratches and even dropping the microphone, ensuring all the components remain in-tact.
Reviews
"Another wonderful-sounding microphone from AKG. The C7 is open, natural and detailed. 9/10" musictech.net

"Reliability, strong build, ease of use and resistance to feedback and popping are all potential areas where a trade-off in audio quality may be necessary. My impression of the C7 is that very little trading-off has been done in this case, and the ‘studio capacitor’ sound is available right there on a live stage."soundonsound.com
