AKG C 535 EB Condenser Microphone

"C535EB has been in production for more than twenty years. Besides being a great vocal mic, it also works well on acoustic guitar on stage or in the studio." — Mark Zucha, AKG, USA.

From AKG website : The C 535 EB is a cardioid handheld condenser microphone with many of the characteristics of AKG’s best studio condensers. The response is quite uniform, but with a slight 2-dB rise in the 7 to 12 kHz range to give added presence to vocalists. A four-position switch on the microphone provides a useful combination of output and low frequency level contours, including a broad bass roll-off for close-in instrumental use and a sharp 100-Hz cut for vocal application. 9 to 52 Vdc phantom powering is required for operation.

Architects and Engineers Specifications : The microphone shall be a condenser type with a cardioid pickup pattern with response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Sensitivity shall be no less than 7 mV/Pa, and at an operating level of 137 dB the THD shall be no greater than 1%. The microphone shall operate on phantom powering over the range from 9 to 52 Vdc. The microphone shall provide a 10 dB pad and switchable low frequency response of both 6 dB/octave roll-off below 200 Hz and 12 dB/octave below 100 Hz. The microphone dimensions shall be no greater than 1.8 inches in diameter and 7.2 inches in length, and the net weight of the microphone shall be no greater than 10.5 ounces. The microphone shall be the AKG Acoustics Model C 535 EB.
