Description

- Extremely rugged vocal/speech microphone
- Available with or without on/off switch
- Patented AKG Laminated Varimotion diaphragm
- Spring steel wire-mesh grill

The D 5 dynamic vocal microphone for lead and backing vocals delivers a powerful sound even on the noisiest stage. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback. The D 5 stands for a crisp sound that cuts through every mix.

AKG made the first microphone diaphragm ever whose thickness varies across its diameter. The new Laminated Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm itself to be fine-tuned with no extra tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance.

The dual shock mount eliminates any kind of mechanical noise for trouble-free live use. The audience will hear nothing but the pristine sound of your voice!

D 5: for standard applications.
D 5 S: with on/off switch.
D 5 WL 1: D 5 microphone element with threaded connection for use with AKG wireless systems.

Excellent value for money for this dynamic microphone that offers a very clear sound without boosting the highs too much! I don't understand why it is not mentioned alongside the Shure SM58 or Sennheiser e835 as it offers a more balanced sound, better output level, and a lower price!!!

Good alternative to the SM58, reliable, efficient, it performs very well in the mix. Nothing to complain about after a year of intensive use in rehearsals and concerts.

More power at the same settings than a Beta 58, less feedback, more warmth.. everything I needed for half the price :)

Very good value for money. Now I have a Telefunken, it's clearly a step above but we're not in the same price range...

Good microphone. Good dynamics. You should not put it near the mouth otherwise you hear the "pop" sounds.
