AKG C519ML Professional Miniature Clip-On Condenser Microphone

The C519ML is a compact, lightweight condenser mic designed to mount directly onto instruments without adding noticeable bulk or weight. Its slim profile and secure clip mechanism make it ideal for live performances, theater productions, and instrument miking where a headset-style solution is impractical. The cardioid pattern and professional audio quality deliver clear, focused capture from the source.

Audio Performance

This condenser delivers a 60 Hz – 20000 Hz frequency response with 5 mV/Pa sensitivity, capturing detail across the full musical spectrum. The 63 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio and 31 dB-A equivalent noise level ensure clean audio with minimal self-noise, while the 130/132 dB SPL maximum handles loud sources without distortion.

Design & Build

At 213 mm tall and 195 g, the C519ML remains unobtrusive when clipped to instruments. It operates on 9–52 V phantom power with minimal current draw (2 mA), making it compatible with standard mixing consoles and portable audio interfaces. The included 1.5 m Mini XLR to Mini XLR cable provides direct connectivity without adapters.
