2.1 Introduction

Important!

Refer to fig. 1.

2.3 C 519 ML

2.3.1 B 29 L or

MPA VL

Disconnecting

the cable:

Important!

The C 519 M/C 519 ML is a condenser micro-

phone and therefore needs a power supply.

Using any power supply other than those

recommended by AKG may damage your

microphone and will void the warranty.

1. Use the supplied connecting cable to connect

the output socket (5) on the gooseneck to a

balanced XLR microphone input with phantom

power.

2. Switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the in-

struction manual of the unit to which you

connected your microphone.)

1. Use the supplied connecting cable to connect

the output socket (4) on the gooseneck to one

of the two mini XLR sockets on the B 29 L or

the mini XLR socket on the connecting cable of

the MPA V L.

The connector will lock automatically.

• To disconnect the cable, press the unlocking

button on the mini XLR connector (1) and pull

the connector (1) out of the socket.

•To avoid damaging the cable, never pull

at the cable itself!

2. B29L:Connect the B 29 L to the desired input.

MPAVL:Connect the MPAVLtoabalanced

XLR microphone input with phantom power

and switch the phantom power on.

2.3.2 Connecting

to a Bodypack

Transmitter

Note:

Attaching the

Bodypack

Transmitter to

the Microphone:

Fig. 2: Inserting the

transmitter into

the adapter.

Refer to fig. 2.

• Use the supplied connecting cable to connect

the output socket on the gooseneck to the in-

put socket on the bodypack transmitter.

•

You can attach the bodypack transmitter to your

belt or to the instrument. The PT 40 and PT 400

bodypack transmitters will also mount directly on

the microphone (refer to section 2.3.1 below).

1. Pull the ends of the fixing clip (1) out of the

adapter.

2. Slide the transmitter (2) all the way into the

adapter.

3. Reinsert the ends of the fixing clip (1) into the

openings in the adapter. The ends of the fixing

clip engage the locating holes in the transmit-

ter case to hold the transmitter in place.

3 Using Your Microphone

3.1 Wind

Instruments

3.1.1 General

Hints

Brass

Instruments:

3.1.2 Saxophone

3.1.3 Clarinet

Fig. 5: Miking up a

clarinet with two

microphones.

Refer to fig. 5.

Alternative

technique with

no stand-mount-

ed microphone:

1. Clamp the microphone on the bell.

2. Aim the microphone at the rim of the bell.

• You can modify the sound by varying the mi-

crophone position.

• If you get too much wind noise, slip the sup-

plied external windscreen on the microphone.

• If you use a mute, be sure to position the mi-

crophone outside of the bell to clear the mute.

• For subtone playing, you might like to align the

microphone with the middle of the bell.

• The clarinet radiates low frequencies through

the keys and high frequencies through the bell

only.

• We therefore recommend aiming a stand-

mounted microphone (e.g., a C 5900 or C 535

from AKG) at the keys in addition to the C 519.

Clamp the microphone on the bell so that the mi-

crophone will look at the outside of the clarinet.

2. Point the microphone at the lowest key. This is

the only area where all frequencies are radiated

at approximately equal intensity.

3 Using Your Microphone

3.1.4 Trumpet

3.2 Piano

Fig. 6: Using two

C 519s to mic up

an upright piano.

Refer to fig. 6.

• Place the microphone as far away from the in-

strument as possible and aim the microphone

at the bell.

The best way to capture the full range of the piano

is to use two microphones:

1. Clamp one microphone on the frame above the

bass strings.

2. Clamp the second microphone on the frame

strut in the octave above Middle C.

3. Align the two microphones so that all notes will

be reproduced at roughly the same level.

To clean the microphone surface, use a soft cloth

moistened with water.

and/or amplifier is off.

2. Channel or master

fader on mixer, or vol-

ume control on am-

plifier is at zero.

3. Microphone is not

connected to mixer

or amplifier.

4. Cable connectors are

seated loosely.

5. Cable is defective.

6. No supply voltage.

1. Switch power to

mixer or amplifier on.

2. Set channel or mas-

ter fader on mixer or

3. Connect microphone

to mixer or amplifier.

4. Check cable connec-

tors for secure seat.

Check cable and re-

place if damaged.

6. Switch phantom

power on.

Phantom power sup-

ply: connect to power

outlet or insert bat-

tery

(batteries).

Check cable and re-

place if necessary.

Distortion: 1. Gain control on the

mixer set too high.

2. Mixer input sensitivity

too high.

1. Turn gain control

down CCW.

2. Connect a 10-dB

preattenuation pad

between microphone

cable and input.
