You Get Big Vocal Performance From This Mini Headworn Mic!

The AKG C 520 L headworn condenser microphone makes an ideal stage mic for singing keyboardists, drummers, guitarists, and other performers. The C 520 L uses a cardioid condenser mic that's both resistant to outside sound sources and very natural sounding for great performance. Its transducer shockmount keeps handling noise to a minimum, and a moisture shield prevents perspiration from getting inside. You can place the mic arm on either the left or right side, depending on your preference. Designed for use with the B 29 L battery power supply, AKG WMS series transmitters, or the MPA V L adapter, the C 520 L lets you take the stage with confidence.

AKG C 520 L Headworn Condenser Microphone Features:
  • Cardioid pickup pattern
  • Headworn microphone with continuously adjustable behind-the-neck headband
  • External shock mount for high mechanical-noise rejection
  • Miniature gooseneck for precise positioning near the user's mouth
  • Microphone arm provides choice of left or right-hand use
  • Moisture shield
  • Frequency range: 60Hz-20kHz
  • Max SPL: 130dB
  • Net weight: 0.9 oz.
  • Sensitivity: 5mV/Pa 9-46dBV
  • Equivalent noise level: 31dB-A
  • Finish: Matte black
  • Designed for use with the B 29 L battery power supply, AKG WMS series transmitters, or the MPA V L adapter
The AKG C 520 L headworn condenser mic gives you great sound and hands-free performance!

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Fantastic!

I've been a Worship leader for 30 years. I've been using the ATM 73 for over 15 years and it has served me well. But, I wanted to move to a wireless setup. I decided to give the AKG 520 a try. I'm blown away. So much more responsive. Much better sound quality.
Rated 5/5

Wonderful Mic

I got this mic because I had researched Rascal Flatts to see what they use (C 520). I wanted a headset mic that fits securely, sounds great, and looks awesome.

Straight out of the box I noticed it was smaller than I had expected and it took a little playing with it to get it to fit right, but by about the third time of putting it on, it is incredibly secure and doesn't wiggle around or anything. The sound is great however I have had a little shielding problems with my in ear monitor cable but I'm getting that figured out.

I am looking to get another one pretty soon because I absolutely love this mic.
