## Overview

The AKG D5 is a professional dynamic handheld vocal microphone engineered for live performance excellence. Featuring a supercardioid polar pattern for maximum feedback rejection, a patented Laminated Varimotion diaphragm for superior sound clarity, and a dual shock mount to eliminate mechanical noise, it delivers powerful, crisp vocals that cut through any mix. Its rugged metal body and balanced XLR output make it a reliable choice for demanding stage environments, favored by vocalists seeking studio-quality sound at an accessible price.

## Description

The D5 dynamic microphone delivers a powerful sound even on the noisiest stage. AKG made the first microphone diaphragm ever whose thickness varies across its diameter. The new Laminated Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm itself to be fine-tuned with no extra tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance. The D5 stands for a crisp sound that cuts through every mix.

Review: I Am a Vocalist (and VERY PICKY about My Microphone!) - I already own an AKG D3800 which was discontinued years ago but is my absolute can't-live-without microphone. I bring the D3800 with me everywhere I go when singing with other people. So, when I started looking for additional mics for other people who sing with me, I wanted to find "affordable" mics that had the best sound quality. I wanted to find a mic that I would use myself if I didn't have my D3800. The MAIN thing that matters to me is microphone sensitivity and quality/tone of vocals. It can be hard to compete with all the other instruments (especially during practices and with guitar players with amps), so the microphone MUST be able to pick up my voice without me having to scream to be heard. This AKG D5 does the job and is absolutely the best for this price range. It's *almost* as good as my D3800 (which cost more than twice as much). I compared the AKG D5 to the Sennheiser e835. The AKG D5 is louder and has more high end. And as far as comparing to the Shure SM58... I can't stand the Shure SM58. Why do people keep buying those?? They're horrible for vocalists. They don't pick up the sound as well, and they're muddy, in my humble opinion. The Sennheiser e935 is slightly better than this AKG D5, but it's also a lot more expensive. I'm so happy with this AKG D5 that I'm going to buy more of them to have on hand for the other vocalists who practice with me. I definitely recommend this microphone. Happy singing!
Review: Buen microfono , pero depende para que lo necesitas! - Este microfono es estupendo pero quiero destacar algunos aspectos. - Es muy ligero - gran calidad de audio - diseño bonito - bueno tanto para bajos como para frequencias altas - suena mejor para chicas y baritonos, y se escucha bien la guitarra tambien Si lo vas a tener siempre en mano..capta mucho el movimiento de la mano..es algo demasiado ligero para mis gustos.. Capta mas ambiente que otros ( como el shure) La calidad de sonido es muy buena ( a nivel de otros mas caros) y se escucha asi como "mas de estudio"..mas ambiente , pero yo he preferido un sonido un poco mas definido y menos ambiental..por eso no me lo he quedado ( estoy habando de cantar vocal). Para hablar creo que es el nr 1 por menos de 100 incluso mas, ya que se escucha muy muy claro, y capta muy bien.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there a way to plug it into a pc to record it and if there is how would u do it**
A: You will need an audio interface, or a mixer built-in USB/Audio Interface. I would recommend you a Behringer Xenyx Q502USB, this mixer can do the job. And how to record audio? with a simple audio recording program like Audacity.

**Q: Does this require phantom power ? or can this be operated under normal circumstances ? can this replace a shure sm58 directly ?**
A: Because this is a dynamic microphone it does not require phantom power. It could be used as a direct replacement for a sm58

**Q: What kind of chord is needed for this mic to connect to a speaker?**
A: It can't be directly connected to a speaker, it needs to go through a pa system, in which case you would need an XLR (3-prong) chord. If you're talking about one of those block rocker speakers, like the ones they sell at costco, then you would need the female xlr/ to male 1/4 inch chord. I hope this helps.

**Q: can i use xvive u3 wireless xlr on this mic?**
A: Yes I do myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ マットだけど艶っぽい音
*by A***ー on 13 October 2019*

女性 ボーカル用に購入、スタジオ・ライブハウスで使用。 自分の場合、58はクリアですが高音拾いは得意だけどハウり易く欲しい低音を拾ってもらえないなぁと、又 有線タイプのマイクを探して、こちらにしました。 他の方も言われるよう、全音域共にとてもストレートに拾われますので、ごまかしはきかずボーカルの力量試されるなぁと思います。 でもそのストレートさが私はとても好みです。色々なマイクを使いましたが、しばらく使ってみても自分はこれが一番好きです。 ただハンドマイクで使用だと少し、女性には重いと感じる方もおられるかと思います。 私みたいに、声を張りにくい低音域の拾いに悩まれてる女性には、一度使ってみてとお伝えしたいです☆
