High directivity and wide frequency response in a relatively short integrated unit make this an ideal microphone for theater, sound reinforcement, and film/video recording.
Due to its compact and lightweight design, the C 568 EB is ideal for camera mount applications. The C 568 EB is an electret condenser design which operates on both pressure gradient and interference principles. Below 500 Hz it functions as a hypercardioid microphone; above 500 Hz the acoustic interference tube introduces increasing directivity. A switch selectable 12 dB/octave 150 Hz roll-off filter effectively suppresses rumble and wind noise. Robust, all-metal housing contains the built-in preamp/impedance converter. Phantom powering (9-52 V) required. Foam windscreen and stand adapter included.
NOTE: “EB” designated an XLR connector when AKG supplied this microphone with different connectors for various international markets. They dropped those designations in later production. This unit for sale has the now universal XLR connector.
