Phil Starr Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colgraff Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Starr Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 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.
