AKG Acoustics C 430 Microphone User Manual


 
C 430
MicroMic Series III Instrument Condenser Microphone
Description
The C 430 is the latest addition to the MicroMic Series III.
Its small size, high SPL handling and frequency shaping
make it ideal for on-stage or in-studio instrument and
percussion micing applications. Its uniform cardioid polar
pattern means that the mic hears more evenly from the
sides. This is the best choice for instruments that radiate
sound from many directions like acoustic guitar, piano,
saxophone and percussion instruments. This is also a good
trait for better gain before feedback when used on stage.
