2.3 Connecting

to a Bodypack

Transmitter

Note:

Refer to section

2.3.1 on page 18.

The C 516 ML is a condenser microphone 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 (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.

MPA V L: ConnecttheMPAVLtoabalanced

XLR microphone input with phantom power

and switch the phantom power on.

• 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.

1. Pull the ends of the fixing clip (1) out of the

adapter.

2. Slide the transmitter (2) all the way into the

adapter.

clip engage the locating holes in the transmit-

ter case to hold the transmitter in place.

4. Slide the adapter with the transmitter on the

shaft (3) on the mounting plate (4).

5. Press the adapter against the mounting plate

(4). The adapter will lock with an audible click.

6. Coil the connecting cable and tuck it under the

fixing clip.

Before permanently mounting the microphone on

your instrument or speaker cabinet, experiment

with various microphone positions to get the best

possible sound. Fix the microphone temporarily

using the supplied adhesive putty.

Step 1: Fix the H 516 installation plate on your in-

strument or speaker cabinet (see a, b, or c below).

3 Using Your Microphone

a) Using screws:

Fig. 5: Inserting the

rubber plate to

reduce mechanical

noise.

Refer to fig. 5.

Important!

b) Mounting the

microphone with

no screws on a

flat surface or...

c) on an uneven

surface:

1. Depending on the material and thickness of the

installation surface, use the 13-mm (0.5-in.)

wood screws or the 30-mm (1.2-in.) machine

screws and nuts.

2. Insert the screws (1) into the openings in the in-

stallation plate (2).

3. Place the non-adhesive rubber plate (3) on the

installation plate (2), making the screws engage

the locating holes (4) in the rubber plate (3).

4. Screw the installation plate (2) on the instru-

ment or speaker.

• To maintain the mechanical-noise attenua-

tion of the rubber plate, do not tighten the

screws hard enough to squeeze the rubber

plate.

• Remove the backing paper from both sides of

the rubber plate and press the rubber plate

firmly on the bracket and then on the instru-

ment or speaker.

• Use the supplied adhesive putty instead of the

rubber plate.

3 Using Your Microphone

Note:

3.3 Accordion

Fig. 6: Miking up an

accordion with two

C 516 MLs.

Refer to fig. 6.

• Both the rubber plate and the elastic putty pro-

vide the same amount of mechanical noise at-

tenuation as the rubber eyelets on the H 516.

Step 2: Slide the mounting plate (1) of the micro-

phone into the H 516 installation plate (2) to the

point that the mounting plate (1) audibly clicks into

place.

• You can remove the microphone easily, for in-

stance, in order to prevent it being damaged

during shipping: pull the microphone out of the

H 516 mounting plate.

To mic up an accordion optimally, you will need

two microphones, one for the bass and one for the

treble range. The gooseneck lets you align each

microphone exactly as desired.

If your instrument is big enough, you can even in-

stall the microphone inside the case, making sure

to slip on the supplied W 44 windscreen to sup-

press the wind noise produced by the bellows.

To keep the microphone cables out of your way,

route them along the straps and from there to a

B 29 L or two bodypack transmitters.

21AKG C 516 ML

Alternatively, you can mic up the accordion with a

single C 516 ML and a stand-mounted micro-

phone:

1. Mount the C 516 ML on the bass side of the ac-

cordion and point the microphone to one of the

sound holes.

2. Align the stand-mounted microphone with the

treble side of the accordion.

Place the microphone a little off the center of one

of the speakers in order to accurately capture the

sound of the amp. Pointing the microphone direct-

ly at the center of the speaker may produce an ex-

ceedingly harsh sound.
