Overview
The new C 555 L head-worn microphone from AKG is rugged extremely easy to use and offers outstanding price/performance. The C 555 L is the ideal microphone for any handsfree application including gymnastics instruction presentations or onstage performance. The C 555 L rests securely and comfortably on the head and can be attached to the left or right side of the behind-the-neck headband as desired. A transducer shock mount reduces handling noise to a minimum. The moisture shield prevents perspiration from penetrating into the transducer element ensuring a high degree of humidity protection for the microphone.
The C 555 L is the only version available and can be used with the B 29 L battery power supply AKG WMS Series bodypack transmitters or the MPA V L adapter for external phantom powering.
