Transmitter
Note:
Refer to section
2.3.1 on page 18.
The C 516 ML is a condenser microphone 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 (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.
MPA V L: ConnecttheMPAVLtoabalanced
XLR microphone input with phantom power
and switch the phantom power on.
• 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.

1. Pull the ends of the fixing clip (1) out of the
adapter.
2. Slide the transmitter (2) all the way into the

clip engage the locating holes in the transmit-
ter case to hold the transmitter in place.
4. Slide the adapter with the transmitter on the
shaft (3) on the mounting plate (4).
5. Press the adapter against the mounting plate
(4). The adapter will lock with an audible click.
6. Coil the connecting cable and tuck it under the
fixing clip.
Before permanently mounting the microphone on
your instrument or speaker cabinet, experiment
with various microphone positions to get the best
possible sound. Fix the microphone temporarily
using the supplied adhesive putty.
Step 1: Fix the H 516 installation plate on your in-
strument or speaker cabinet (see a, b, or c below).

3 Using Your Microphone
a) Using screws:
Fig. 5: Inserting the
rubber plate to
reduce mechanical
noise.
Refer to fig. 5.
Important!
b) Mounting the
microphone with
no screws on a
flat surface or...
c) on an uneven
surface:
1. Depending on the material and thickness of the
installation surface, use the 13-mm (0.5-in.)
wood screws or the 30-mm (1.2-in.) machine
screws and nuts.
2. Insert the screws (1) into the openings in the in-
stallation plate (2).
3. Place the non-adhesive rubber plate (3) on the
installation plate (2), making the screws engage
the locating holes (4) in the rubber plate (3).
4. Screw the installation plate (2) on the instru-
ment or speaker.
• To maintain the mechanical-noise attenua-
tion of the rubber plate, do not tighten the
screws hard enough to squeeze the rubber
plate.
• Remove the backing paper from both sides of
the rubber plate and press the rubber plate
firmly on the bracket and then on the instru-
ment or speaker.
• Use the supplied adhesive putty instead of the
rubber plate.

Note:
3.3 Accordion
Fig. 6: Miking up an
accordion with two
C 516 MLs.
Refer to fig. 6.
• Both the rubber plate and the elastic putty pro-
vide the same amount of mechanical noise at-
tenuation as the rubber eyelets on the H 516.
Step 2: Slide the mounting plate (1) of the micro-
phone into the H 516 installation plate (2) to the
point that the mounting plate (1) audibly clicks into
place.
• You can remove the microphone easily, for in-
stance, in order to prevent it being damaged
during shipping: pull the microphone out of the
H 516 mounting plate.
To mic up an accordion optimally, you will need
two microphones, one for the bass and one for the
treble range. The gooseneck lets you align each
microphone exactly as desired.
If your instrument is big enough, you can even in-
stall the microphone inside the case, making sure
to slip on the supplied W 44 windscreen to sup-
press the wind noise produced by the bellows.
To keep the microphone cables out of your way,
route them along the straps and from there to a
B 29 L or two bodypack transmitters.
21AKG C 516 ML
Alternatively, you can mic up the accordion with a
single C 516 ML and a stand-mounted micro-
phone:
1. Mount the C 516 ML on the bass side of the ac-
cordion and point the microphone to one of the
sound holes.
2. Align the stand-mounted microphone with the
treble side of the accordion.
Place the microphone a little off the center of one
of the speakers in order to accurately capture the
sound of the amp. Pointing the microphone direct-
ly at the center of the speaker may produce an ex-
ceedingly harsh sound.
