AKG C7 Reference Condenser Vocal Microphone

The C7 is a reference condenser vocal microphone that brings studio-grade detail to the stage. Its 3/4-inch back-electret capsule and supercardioid pattern combine an open, natural top end with tight off-axis rejection for high gain before feedback, so lead vocals stay clear and present in a loud mix.

It handles up to 150 dB SPL for confident close work, and a gold-plated capsule case with a rugged die-cast body stands up to touring. The C7 WL1 is the same capsule as a screw-on head for AKG wireless transmitters, so a vocalist can move from wired to wireless without changing sound.
