New AKG Mic Suitable for Voiceovers

A new model, the C900, is part of the AKG Emotion Series of dynamic microphones. The Emotion line is aimed at musicians and voiceover artists.
It is a condenser microphone with a gold-plated transducer case for protection against corrosion and humidity. The transducer element is shock-mounted in an elastic ring. In addition to the transducer case and the decorative gold ring, the XLR connector is gold-plated for a reliable electrical contact.
AKG says the mic is insensitive to handling noise. A supplied presence boost adapter can be installed to boost the 5 to 9 kHz range by 2 to 4 dB for better intelligibility.
