Description

The AKG C516 ML is a miniature condenser microphone for accordions, pianos, guitar amps and keyboard or organ cabinets. It mounts right on the instrument or cabinet with the supplied screws, adhesive pads and mounting plates. Two C516 ML microphones, one on the bass side and one on the treble side, are a common way to mic an accordion.

The cardioid pattern reduces feedback and leakage from nearby instruments, and the adjustable gooseneck holds the capsule where you set it. The microphone ends in a 3-pin mini XLR plug for the AKG B29 L battery power supply, the MPA V L phantom adapter or AKG WMS bodypack transmitters.
