AKG D5 microphone offer

[Phil Starr]

I'm nothing to do with Studiospares or AKG but this is a great mic at an extraordinary price so just in case this is in your Chrismas list https://www.studiospares.com/product/439730?mc_cid=f872af9f73&mc_eid=b1b33547eb

I already have two of these, so this offer is no good for me. They are much better sounding (more open and more detailed) than the SM58 for example, and reject feedback much better at the expense of you needing to get up close to the mic due to the tighter pickup pattern.

Just thought it was worth passing on

Another endorsement for the D5 (and the C5, the condenser mic equivalent...). We've been using them for a fair few years now, and they're very good.

I have one of those. Great mike.

[Fisheth]

Should pick one up. They look ace.

Another upvote for the D5!

I've been umming and ahhing about buying the AKG twin wireless microphone system for a while. This thread has probably encouraged me to do it.

Um...is this available with a switch at the same price?
I've always used Shure, but I like the look of this.........

Just noticed they also do a cardioid version https://www.studiospares.com/product/469490?mc_cid=b3b45623b1&mc_eid=b1b33547eb £10 more but probably better if you play and sing at the same time as they are likely to be slightly less sensitive to people like me who can't stand still whilst singing. Might be more waht you are used to if you've moved from the SM58 which is also cardioid. It uses the same capsule though so should sound similar.
