AKG P5i High-Performance Dynamic Vocal Microphone vs AKG CS3 EC 010 10 Meter System Cable
These are completely different product categories: the P5i is a dynamic vocal microphone for live performance and studio vocals, while the CS3 EC 010 is a specialized 10-meter system cable for AKG conference systems. They cannot be compared as alternatives—the P5i suits vocalists needing a stage or studio mic, and the cable suits only those building or expanding an AKG CS3 conference system.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.
