Description

Description

Dynamic handheld microphone, supercardioid, luminatedvarimotion technology, frequency response 70Hz-20kHz, sensitivity 2.6 mv/pa, max 156 dB SPL. Suitable for lead and backing vocals. Includes carrying case. Weight 340 gr.

The professional dynamic vocal microphone D5 for lead and backing vocals offers powerful sound even on the noisiest stage. Its frequency-independent supercardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback. The D5 represents a clear sound that cuts through any mix. The dual-shock mount eliminates all kinds of mechanical noise for trouble-free live use. The audience will hear the pristine sound of your voice! The D5 S has the same mechanical, electrical, and acoustic characteristics as the D5 and features a noiseless on/off switch.

Δυναμικό

Mode of Operation

Δυναμικό

Durable microphone that does not require power supply. Ideal for live performances and loud sound sources (vocals, drums, amplifiers).
Directivity
Unidirectional (Supercardioid)

Directivity

Unidirectional (Supercardioid)

(Supercardioid): It has a narrower pickup in front than the cardioid and slightly more sensitivity from the back. Ideal for recordings in noisy environments.
Frequency
70 - 20000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Impendance
600 ohm

Impendance

Indicates how "easily" the microphone transmits its signal to the equipment (mixer, sound card, amplifier). It is expressed in Ohms (Ω).

  • Low impedance (≤ 600 Ω): Stable signal, less noise, ideal for professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Medium impedance (600 – 1,000 Ω): Good balance, common in live and general use.
  • High impedance (> 1,000 Ω): More sensitive to loss and noise, usually found in older or specialized equipment.
Sensitivity
2.6 mV/Pa

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how strong the signal it produces is when recording a sound. It is measured in mV/Pa or dBV/Pa.

  • High sensitivity: The microphone can capture very low sounds, but it may be more sensitive to ambient noise.
  • Low sensitivity: It records louder sound sources without distortion, but requires more amplification from the preamp.

In general, condenser microphones have higher sensitivity than dynamic ones.

Max SPL
156 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.

    It is better than the Shure sm 58 as it has more detail in the mid and high frequencies compared to the sm 58 which produces a "muffled" sound and has lower output. As for handheld noise, it is at the same levels as the sm 58

    I used it live.
    Compared to the Shure PGA58, it is better for male vocals as you feel more supported in difficult situations without being exposed.
    For its price, it is a very good microphone from AKG!

    I was looking for something to replace my USB condenser microphone (blue snowball) and improve my speech (podcasts, let's plays) mainly in terms of noise, and I am very satisfied so far.

    The akg d5 doesn't pick up any background noise (crying child, woman banging dishes, etc.) at all, and if you adjust it correctly, there is almost no hiss. I don't even need to put cushions around it to absorb the echo. Compared to my condenser microphone, it doesn't lack in volume at all (!) and only slightly in the highs (reaching 20khz).

    I have paired it with a cheap mixer (behringet usb) and a cheap stand (bespeco sh12ne), and recording is now a pleasure!
