The Microphone

Moisture Shield

Thank you for purchasing an AKG product. This Manual con-

tains important instructions for setting up and operating your

equipment. Please take a few minutes to read the instructions

below carefully before operating the equipment. Please

keep the Manual for future reference.

•C 544 microphone

• W 444 foam windscreen

• 4 moisture shields

• For optional accessories, refer to the current AKG catalog or

folder, or visit www.akg.com. Your dealer will be glad to help.

The C 544 is a head-worn miniature condenser microphone

with a convenient behind-the-neck headband. The microphone

has a cardioid polar pattern and therefore “prefers” sounds ar-

riving from in front of it (from the user’s mouth).

The microphone body containing the condenser transducer is

shock mounted on the microphone arm in order to suppress

cable and mechanical noise. The microphone arm will place the

microphone in front of the corner of your mouth to minimize pop

noise and protect the microphone from contamination. The sup-

plied windscreen makes the microphone even less susceptible

to wind and pop noise.

A special moisture shield on the microphone capsule makes it

difficult for moisture and makeup to penetrate into the micro-

phone. This barrier prevents the microphone sound entries from

being clogged by perspiration or makeup which would make

the sound dull and reduce the sensitivity of the microphone.

Therefore, never remove the moisture shield from the micro-

phone!

3 Interfacing

C 544 15

Introduction

Connecting

the Microphone

Disconnecting

the cable:

The C 544 is a condenser microphone and therefore needs a

power supply.

• Using any power supply other than those recom-

mended by AKG may damage your microphone and

will void the warranty.

1. Plug the mini XLR connector on the microphone cable all the

way into one of the two mini XLR sockets on the B 29 L,

the mini XLR socket on the connecting cable of the MPA V L,

or the input jack on your bodypack transmitter.

The connector will lock automatically.

• To disconnect the cable, press the unlocking button on the

mini XLR connector (1) and pull the connector (1) out of the

socket.

• To avoid damaging the cable, never pull at the cable

itself!

2. B 29 L: Connect the B 29 L to the desired input.

MPA V L: Connect the MPA V L to a balanced XLR micro-

phone input with phantom power and switch the phantom

power on.

4 Operating Notes

Putting the

Microphone On

Fig. 1: Putting

the mic on.

Fig. 2: Positioning

the mic.

Refer to fig. 2.

1. Put the microphone on as shown in fig. 1 above.

2. Bend the gooseneck so that the microphone will sit to one

side in front of the corner of your mouth.

3. Find the optimum position during the soundcheck.

• Should you hear excessive pop noise (”p” and ”t” sounds

are overemphasized unnaturally), move the microphone

capsule further away from your mouth (up or back).

• If the microphone sounds ”thin” or flat, move the micro-

phone capsule closer to your mouth (refer to fig. 3).

2. Pull the windscreen over the outer edge of the microphone

capsule.
