The new C 555 L head-worn microphone from AKG is
rugged, extremely easy to use, and offers outstanding
price/performance. The C 555 L is the ideal microphone for any
handsfree application including gymnastics instruction,
presentations, or onstage performance. The C 555 L rests
securely and comfortably on the head, and can be attached to the
left or right side of the behind-the-neck headband as desired. A
transducer shock mount reduces handling noise to a minimum. The
moisture shield prevents perspiration from penetrating into the
transducer element, ensuring a high degree of humidity
protection for the microphone.
The C 555 L is the only version
available and can be used with the B 29 L battery power supply,
AKG WMS Series bodypack transmitters, or the MPA V L adapter for
external phantom powering.
