AKG C562 CM Professional Flush-Mount Boundary Layer Microphone

The AKG C562 CM is a compact, unobtrusive boundary layer microphone engineered for professional installation in conference rooms, boardrooms, and presentation spaces. Its diminutive flush-mount design sits nearly flush against surfaces, making it virtually invisible while delivering consistent, intelligible audio capture across a wide area.

Design & Build

This microphone measures just 12 mm in length, 28 mm in height, and 20 mm in diameter, weighing only 30 g, allowing for seamless integration into any meeting environment without visual distraction. The matte nickel plated finish resists fingerprints and maintains a professional appearance over years of use.

Audio Performance

The C562 CM delivers clear audio across the full spectrum with a 20 to 20,000 Hz frequency response, supported by an 78 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio and a low 16 dB-A equivalent noise level for articulate speech reproduction. Its hemispherical polar pattern captures sound evenly from all directions above the surface, ideal for picking up multiple speakers seated around a table.
