Is anyone interested in a Phantom Powered shotgun mic AKG 568? It is a used item but sounds incredible. The retail value is around $550 but I will sell for $250. I am selling because I bought two together on ebay and decided that one would be sufficient. I would also consider trading equipment like batteries or other mics or other miscellenious items. The specs are great and it is highly directional.
I have not personaly compared it to a Sennheiser or Audio Technica but it seems to be in the same class if not better. I am not extremely knowlegable when it comes to sound production but I know that it is miles ahead of my old SGM-2x. In fact it is the best sounding mic that I have ever personally heard. It isn't very long either, probably around 10 inches. When compared to the stock mic of the DVX it is amazing, so much more crisp and clear with much better dynamic range and it is much louder. The sensitivity is amazing!
Specifications :
FREQUENCY RANGE : 20 Hz to 20 kHz
POLAR PATTERN : hypercardioid/directional
SENSITIVITY : 11 mV/Pa (-39 dBV)
EQUIVALENT NOISE LEVEL : 18 dB-A
MAXIMUM SPL FOR 0.5% THD : 128 dB
IMPEDANCE : 600 ohms
SIZE : 20 ÿ x 255 mm (0.8 ÿ x 10 in.)
NET/SHIPPING WEIGHT : 160/715 g (5.6 oz./1.6 lbs.)
Compact, short shotgun microphone
Integrated, switchable bass cut filter minimizes mechanical noise
Operates on phantom power
High directivity and wide frequency response in a relatively short shotgun make this microphone a perfect tool for theater, sound reinforcement, and film/TV applications.
Due to its compact and lightweight design, the C 568 B is ideal for camera mount applications. Below 500 Hz it functions as a hypercardioid microphone; above 500 Hz the acoustic interference tube introduces increasing directivity. A switchable 12 dB/octave 120 Hz bass cut filter effectively suppresses rumble and wind noise. The rugged, all-metal body contains the built-in preamp. Phantom powering (9–52 V) required
