AKG C430 Overhead Condenser Microphone

The C430 is a compact professional condenser designed specifically for cymbals and drum overheads. Its cardioid capsule and crisp, extended top end capture cymbal shimmer and stick detail cleanly, often reducing the need for external EQ to open up the high end.

At just 23 grams and 79 mm long, it keeps a low visual profile over a kit or in front of acoustic instruments where a full-size mic would be in the way. It runs on standard 9-52 V phantom power and ships with a W32 windscreen and a microphone bag.
