AKG C544 L High-Performance Sports Head-Worn Condenser Microphone
The AKG C544 L is a lightweight, head-worn condenser microphone engineered for recording scenarios where hands-free operation and reliable, consistent pickup are essential. At just 0.07 lbs, it remains unobtrusive during extended tracking sessions, with the flexible boom design allowing precise positioning for tight, articulate vocal capture. The matte black finish and low-profile housing maintain a professional studio aesthetic while delivering the audio quality AKG is known for.
Design & Build
The C544 L utilizes a three-pin mini XLR connector and ships with a 1.5 m cable, accommodating standard audio interfaces, wireless bodypack transmitters, and mixing consoles. The included W444 windscreen and four moisture shields provide essential protection during high-SPL tracking, outdoor recording sessions, or humid studio environments, making this mic suitable for spoken word, voice acting, fitness instruction content, live-to-tape presentations, and podcasting workflows.
Audio Performance
This pre-polarized condenser delivers a cardioid polar pattern that rejects off-axis room noise while maintaining clear, articulate vocal character. The extended frequency response of 80–20,000 Hz captures the full spectrum of speech and musical content, while the 126 dB SPL maximum (130 dB at 3% THD) handles loud sources and aggressive vocal takes without distortion. Sensitivity of 25 mV/Pa with low output impedance ensures reliable, clean signal levels into any standard mixing console or wireless transmitter.
