AKG - C520L - Gooseneck - Mini XLR - Headset microphone

AKG C520L Gooseneck Mini XLR Headset Microphone is a compact, professional headset mic designed for clear vocal pickup and reliable wired connectivity.

The AKG C520L features a sensitive microphone element with a sensitivity of 63 dB and a wide frequency response from 60 to 20,000 Hz, making it suitable for speech and vocal applications where intelligibility is essential.

Designed as a mobile phone/smartphone microphone with a mini XLR (3-pin) interface, the C520L connects via wired technology to compatible audio interfaces or wireless systems that accept phantom power and mini XLR inputs.

With an input impedance of 200 Ω and an operating voltage of 52 V, the C520L draws only 2 mA of current, offering efficient performance while relying on standard phantom power for professional setups.

The microphone is lightweight at just 26 g and has compact dimensions (195 x 195 mm), making it comfortable for long wear and easy to position with its flexible gooseneck design. The unit ships as one piece and comes in a discreet black finish.

Typical use cases include live presentations, broadcast and streaming, theatre, and mobile recording where a low-profile, reliable headset microphone is required. Its frequency range and sensitivity make it especially effective for spoken-word applications and clear vocal reinforcement.

Key selling points: compact gooseneck design, mini XLR wired connectivity, wide frequency response, low weight for comfort, and low power draw suitable for phantom-powered systems.
