About AKG C636 WL1

Under the spotlight, the AKG C636 WL1 Master Reference Condenser Cardioid Vocal Microphone Head stands as a testament to superior audio quality and robust durability. This professional-grade microphone head, designed for both recording and live performances, delivers the pure, unfiltered studio sound that AKG is renowned for.

The C636 WL1 is a re-engineered version of the classic AKG C535 condenser microphone, retaining its spirit while meeting the demands of today's top vocal performers. It is compatible with the AKG DMS800 and WMS4500 wireless systems, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.

The microphone head features a proprietary double shock suspension system, providing unparalleled rejection of handling noise. This innovative system includes a highly absorbent rubber bearing and an adjustable balancing network that effectively cancels vibrations across a wide frequency range.

The C636 WL1 also boasts a state-of-the-art, multilayer pop noise rejection system that eliminates plosives, ensuring clear, plosive-free vocal performances. This triple-layer protection system, unique to AKG, includes the grille, a foam layer behind the grille, and a magnetically attached computer-modeled mesh layer on top of the capsule.

The cardioid polar pattern of the C636 WL1 eliminates feedback, providing a uniform sound capture throughout the entire frequency spectrum. This, combined with a specially designed suspension and grille for the capsule, essentially eradicates feedback, making it an ideal choice for live performances.

Constructed with a robust zinc-alloy housing, a spring steel grille, and a 24-carat gold-plated capsule, the C636 WL1 is built to withstand the rigors of the most demanding tour schedules. The gold-plating also protects the microphone against moisture and corrosion, ensuring its longevity.

In essence, the AKG C636 WL1 Master Reference Condenser Cardioid Vocal Microphone Head is a high-quality, durable, and reliable choice for professionals seeking superior sound capture. Its versatility and robust construction make it a standout choice in the realm of audio equipment.
