AKGC519ML Miniature Cardioid Condenser Microphone
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Miniature cardioid condenser on a 5-foot mini-XLR lead. For live players who need a small, low-profile mic feeding an AKG bodypack or battery supply.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live stage use where a full-size mic and stand are in the way
- Running into an AKG bodypack for wireless freedom
- Loud sources — handles 130 dB SPL up close
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio work — 31 dB-A self-noise shows up on quiet sources
- Anyone plugging straight into a standard XLR input
- Capturing sub-60 Hz low end; the response starts at 60 Hz
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cardioid pattern
Rejects what is behind it, so close placement gives more gain before feedback on a loud stage.
Detail 03
130/132 dB max SPL
Can sit right on a loud source without the capsule distorting.
Detail 04
60 Hz–20 kHz response
Low end tapers off, which keeps stage rumble and thumps out of the channel.
Detail 05
31 dB-A self-noise
Not an issue at stage levels. In a quiet room at high gain, hiss is audible.
Detail 06
85 g, 200 mm long
Light and slim enough to mount close without loading down whatever holds it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Powering needs a B 29 L battery supply or the MPA V L adapter
- 02The 5-foot lead is bodypack length — plan cable runs accordingly
- 03Budget for a windscreen if it sits near breath or air movement
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug it into my mixer?
Not directly — it terminates in 3-pin mini XLR. You need the MPA V L adapter for phantom power, or a B 29 L battery supply.
02Does it work with AKG wireless?
Yes, it is built to feed AKG bodypack-style powering. Confirm the mini-XLR pinout matches your specific transmitter before ordering.
03How loud a source can it take?
Up to 130 dB SPL at 1% THD, 132 dB at 3%. That covers close placement on loud stage instruments.
04How is this different from the C 520 L?
The C 520 L is headworn for voice. This one is a bare miniature mic on a mini-XLR lead, meant to be mounted where you need it.
