C 400 BL
Boundary Layer Condenser Microphone
Description
The AKG Model C 400 BL is a unidirectional boundary
layer microphone intended for table top use. The
microphone’s frequency range has been tailored for speech
applications through a gentle bass roll-off below 200 Hz and
a slight high frequency peak centered at 6 kHz, with a gentle
roll-off above that frequency.
The combination of both narrow pickup angle and
frequency response limited to the voice range makes the
microphone doubly insensitive to ambient noise, a design
known as DNC (Dual Noise Canceling).
The microphone has a high sensitivity of 13.5 mV/Pa and is
available with either a 3-pin XLR connector or a B-lock jack
for the Model C 400 BL/1. The microphone is universally
phantom powered over the range from 9 to 52 volts dc.
Cable length is 5 feet (1.5 meters).
The microphone’s matte black finish can be painted to
match surrounding decor.
