2.3.1 B 29 L or
MPA VL
Disconnecting
the cable:
Important!
The C 519 M/C 519 ML is a condenser micro-
phone and therefore needs a power supply.
Using any power supply other than those
recommended by AKG may damage your
microphone and will void the warranty.
1. Use the supplied connecting cable to connect
the output socket (5) on the gooseneck to a
balanced XLR microphone input with phantom
power.
2. Switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the in-
struction manual of the unit to which you
connected your microphone.)
1. Use the supplied connecting cable to connect
the output socket (4) on the gooseneck to one
of the two mini XLR sockets on the B 29 L or
the mini XLR socket on the connecting cable of
the MPA V L.
The connector will lock automatically.
• To disconnect the cable, press the unlocking
button on the mini XLR connector (1) and pull
the connector (1) out of the socket.
•To avoid damaging the cable, never pull
at the cable itself!
2. B29L:Connect the B 29 L to the desired input.
MPAVL:Connect the MPAVLtoabalanced
XLR microphone input with phantom power
and switch the phantom power on.

2.3.2 Connecting
to a Bodypack
Transmitter
Note:
Attaching the
Bodypack
Transmitter to
the Microphone:
Fig. 2: Inserting the
transmitter into
the adapter.
Refer to fig. 2.
• Use the supplied connecting cable to connect
the output socket on the gooseneck to the in-
put socket on the bodypack transmitter.
•
You can attach the bodypack transmitter to your
belt or to the instrument. The PT 40 and PT 400
bodypack transmitters will also mount directly on
the microphone (refer to section 2.3.1 below).
1. Pull the ends of the fixing clip (1) out of the
adapter.
2. Slide the transmitter (2) all the way into the
adapter.
3. Reinsert the ends of the fixing clip (1) into the
openings in the adapter. The ends of the fixing
clip engage the locating holes in the transmit-
ter case to hold the transmitter in place.

3.1.1 General
Hints
Brass
Instruments:
3.1.2 Saxophone
3.1.3 Clarinet
Fig. 5: Miking up a
clarinet with two
microphones.
Refer to fig. 5.
Alternative
technique with
no stand-mount-
ed microphone:
1. Clamp the microphone on the bell.
2. Aim the microphone at the rim of the bell.
• You can modify the sound by varying the mi-
crophone position.
• If you get too much wind noise, slip the sup-
plied external windscreen on the microphone.
• If you use a mute, be sure to position the mi-
crophone outside of the bell to clear the mute.
• For subtone playing, you might like to align the
microphone with the middle of the bell.
• The clarinet radiates low frequencies through
the keys and high frequencies through the bell
only.
• We therefore recommend aiming a stand-
mounted microphone (e.g., a C 5900 or C 535
from AKG) at the keys in addition to the C 519.
1.
Clamp the microphone on the bell so that the mi-
crophone will look at the outside of the clarinet.
2. Point the microphone at the lowest key. This is
the only area where all frequencies are radiated
at approximately equal intensity.

3 Using Your Microphone
3.1.4 Trumpet
3.2 Piano
Fig. 6: Using two
C 519s to mic up
an upright piano.
Refer to fig. 6.
• Place the microphone as far away from the in-
strument as possible and aim the microphone
at the bell.
The best way to capture the full range of the piano
is to use two microphones:
1. Clamp one microphone on the frame above the
bass strings.
2. Clamp the second microphone on the frame
strut in the octave above Middle C.
3. Align the two microphones so that all notes will
be reproduced at roughly the same level.
To clean the microphone surface, use a soft cloth
moistened with water.

5 Troubleshooting
20 AKG C 519 M / C 519 ML
Problem Possible Cause Remedy
No sound: 1. Power to mixer
and/or amplifier is off.
2. Channel or master
fader on mixer, or vol-
ume control on am-
plifier is at zero.
3. Microphone is not
connected to mixer
or amplifier.
4. Cable connectors are
seated loosely.
5. Cable is defective.
6. No supply voltage.
1. Switch power to
mixer or amplifier on.
2. Set channel or mas-
ter fader on mixer or
volume control on
amplifier to desired -
level.
3. Connect microphone
to mixer or amplifier.
4. Check cable connec-
tors for secure seat.
5.
Check cable and re-
place if damaged.
6. Switch phantom
power on.
Phantom power sup-
ply: connect to power
outlet or insert bat-
tery
(batteries).
Check cable and re-
place if necessary.
Distortion: 1. Gain control on the
mixer set too high.
2. Mixer input sensitivity
too high.
1. Turn gain control
down CCW.
2. Connect a 10-dB
preattenuation pad
between microphone
cable and input.
C 519 ML: Also read the transmitter and receiver manuals!
