Instrument and speaker-cabinet pickup
The AKG C516 ML is designed for accordion, piano, guitar and bass cabinets, and keyboard amplifiers. Its cardioid condenser capsule focuses on the selected source while reducing surrounding sound. Direct mounting on the instrument or speaker enclosure maintains the chosen microphone position during performance and removes the need for a separate floor stand.
Positioning the capsule
A 125 mm flexible gooseneck lets you aim the capsule at the required area of the instrument or loudspeaker. The elastic mount reduces handling and cable noise. The H516 installation plate holds the microphone and allows removal after use. Compare several positions before fixing the mount, since distance and direction affect the resulting tone.
Detachable cable and power
The included 1.5 m cable uses 3-pin mini-XLR connections for a compatible AKG bodypack or recommended power device. Wired setups can use a separately available B29 L battery supply or MPA V L phantom adapter. The adapter connects to a balanced microphone input supplying phantom power. The detachable cable simplifies installation and servicing.
Mounting accessories and package
One C516 ML is supplied with its cable, H516 mount, A400 adapter for a compatible bodypack, W44 windscreen and carrying bag. Screws, rubber mounting pieces and adhesive compound support different installation methods. Choose the transmitter or power device separately, and select a mounting method appropriate to the instrument's material, finish and construction before setting the recording level.
