AKG D5 S Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The AKG 3138X00090 is a handheld dynamic microphone with a supercardioid pickup pattern, created for singers who need their voice to stay clear and present in a loud room. It locks onto the source while rejecting sound from the sides and rear, so monitors, drums, and crowd noise stay where they belong—out of the mix.

The microphone covers a frequency range of 70 Hz to 20 kHz, giving low notes warmth and high notes shine without harshness. A laminated Varimotion diaphragm maintains the supercardioid pattern across the spectrum, which lets you drive the preamp louder before feedback becomes a problem. Engineers and performers alike will notice how little EQ is required to make the vocal sit perfectly in the house system.

Stage practicality is built in. A dual shock mount isolates the capsule to prevent handling noise, and an internal pop filter softens plosives and breath blasts. The on/off switch is designed to stay silent, so muting the mic between songs will not send a thump through the PA. A die-cast metal body and spring-steel grille withstand life in the gig bag, from club stages to festival runs.

Whether you are a touring vocalist, a worship leader, or a venue manager who needs durable gear that simply works, the D5 S delivers reliable, focused sound night after night. Plug it into any standard XLR setup, bring the fader up, and concentrate on the performance.
