AKG Acoustics AKG C542BL Boundary Layer Stage Condenser Microphone for Recording

The AKG C542BL is a high-quality boundary microphone designed to deliver superior results for a multitude of recording applications. The boundary layer technique is well-known for recording and offers non-directional pickup that is frequency independent. It is small, lightweight and easy to place no stand is needed. Since the transducer sits in a metal plate only 5 mm (0.2 in) thick, the plate doesn't interfere with or color the sound.

Frequency response is very uniform within its hemisphere and it captures the "room sound'' of an instrument very accurately. The C542BL can be permanently attached to the floor or wall of a studio using the screw holes in the plate or attached temporarily using the supplied adhesive compound. Its 3-pin output connector also has a switchable bass-cut filter to minimize surface-born noise.
