Disconnecting

the cable:

Important!

The C 520 /C 520 L is a condenser microphone

and therefore needs a power supply.

Using any power supply other than those rec-

ommended by AKG may damage your micro-

phone and will void the warranty.

1. Connect the phantom power adapter on the

microphone cable to a balanced XLR micro-

phone input with phantom power.

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

instruction manual of the unit to which you

connected your C 420.)

1. Plug the mini XLR connector on the micro-

phone cable all the way into one of the two mini

XLR sockets on the B 29, the mini XLR socket

on the connecting cable of the MPA II, or the

input socket on the bodypack transmitter.

The connector will lock automatically.

• To disconnect the cable, press the unlocking

button on the mini XLR connector and pull the

connector out of the socket.
