Disconnecting

the cable:

Important!

The C 518 M/C 518 ML is a condenser micro-

phone and therefore needs a power supply.

Usingany power supply other than those

recommendedby AKG may damageyour

microphone andwill voidthe warranty.

1. Use the supplied connecting cable to connect

the output socket (5)on the gooseneck to a

balanced XLRmicrophone input with phantom

power.

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

struction manual of the unit to which you con-

nected your microphone.)

1. Use the supplied connecting cable to connect

the output socket (4)on the gooseneck to one

of the two mini XLRsockets on the B 29 L or

the mini XLRsocket 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 XLRconnector (1)and pull

the connector (1)out of the socket.

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

Microphone

3.3MoreHints

C 518 M only!

1. Turn the knurled-head screw (1)CCW to open

the clamp jaws (2).

2. Hang the microphone on the top hoop of the

drum.

3. Tighten the knurled-head screw (1)CW.

•To get a tight, punchy sound, aim the micro-

phone at the perimeter of the skin.

•To get a rounder, more open sound, aim the mi-

crophone at the center of the skin.

•To get a very dry sound, you can tape a strip of

felt or a piece of tissue paper to the skin in an

off-center position.

•When miking up small-diameter drums, we

recommend aiming the microphone at the

perimeter of the top skin to keep the micro-

phone clear of the sticks.

•To keep the ringing of the top skin from becom-

ing audible, you can switch in the bass rolloff

on the phantom power adapter.
