Enjoy maximum mobility during your performance—all in a mic that’s nearly invisible to the audience. The C417 is a miniature condenser clip-on microphone designed for professional projects such as live broadcasts, theatrical performances, or other on-stage or live sound applications. Its broadband, flat audio reproduction provides an open, natural result that’s great for vocals, speech, and instruments and integrates seamlessly into either wireless or hardwired multi-mic systems.
This professional lavalier mic’s compact, low-profile build makes it easy to inconspicuously secure it to clothing, while its light weight ensures optimal comfort for the performer, artist, or presenter. But don’t let its small size fool you: the C417 is designed to deliver professional-caliber audio in the most demanding situations. Its wide frequency range extends from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Its omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound from all directions with consistent quality. It offers low distortion at high sound pressure levels, meaning even louder sounds are faithfully captured. In addition to being a great mic for speech, the C417’s balanced sound characteristics make it equally ideal for achieving natural instrumental audio.
The C417 comes in two models which are differentiated by their connectors:
- The C417 PP features a standard XLR connector
- The C417 L provides a professional three-pin mini XLR connector compatible with bodypack transmitter models from all AKG wireless microphone systems
Included in the box with the AKG C417 microphone are a tie clip and tie pin for secure attachment and positioning, an external windscreen for reducing noise from breath or plosives, and a microphone bag to protect it from dust or other debris when not in use.
