The microphone has a cardioid polar pattern and therefore “prefers” sounds arriving from in front of it (from the user’s mouth). The microphone case containing the condenser transducer is shock mounted on the microphone arm in order to suppress cable and mechanical noise. The microphone arm will place the microphone in front of the corner of your mouth to minimize pop noise and protect the microphone from contamination. The supplied windscreen makes the microphone even less susceptible to wind and pop noise. 1.2 Versions The C 420 is available in three versions: C 420: C420 L: C 420/B-lock: With 3-pin XLR connector with integrated adapter for 9 to 52 V universal phantom power. With locking mini XLR connector for use with the new version B 29 battery power supply, new version MPA II phantom power adapter, or AKG bodypack transmitters. With locking mini jack plug for use with the old version B 29 battery power supply or old version MPA II phantom power adapter. 1 Description All C 420 versions are supplied with: 1.3 Standard Accessories W 44 foam windscreen B 18 battery supply N 62 E, N 66 E AC power supplies MK 9/10 10-m (33-ft.) connecting cable B 29 battery supply MPA II phantom power adapter 1.4 Optional Accessories for C 420 1.5 Optional Accessories for C 420 L, C 420 B/lock 2 Interfacing The C 420 is a condenser microphone and therefore needs a power supply. 1. Connect the phantom power adapter on the 2.1 C 420 microphone cable to a balanced XLR microphone input with phantom power. 2. Switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the instruction manual of the unit to which you connected your C 420.) 3. If your mixer provides no phantom power, connect an AKG phantom power supply (N 62 E, N 66 E, B 18) between the microphone and the mixer. You may connect AKG phantom power supplies to balanced or unbalanced inputs. 2 Interfacing 2.2 C 420 L 1. Plug the mini XLR connector on the microphone cable all the way into one of the two mini XLR sockets on the B 29, the mini XLR socket on the connecting cable of the MPA II, or the input socket on the bodypack transmitter. The connector will lock automatically. 2. Connect the B 29 or MPA II to the desired input. 2.3 C 420 B/lock This version is identical to the C 420 L except that it uses a screw-in mini jack plug that you can connect directly to the old versions of the B 29, MPA II, or AKG bodypack transmitters. (Refer to the instruction manual of the unit you are using.) 2.4 B 29 Battery Supply The optional B 29 battery supply allows you to connect two microphones to a common balanced or unbalanced input in order to save on mixer inputs. 2.5 MPA II Phantom Power Adapter The optional MPA II phantom power adapter lets you connect the C 420 to any phantom power source or XLR input with 9 to 52 V phantom power. 2.6 External Phantom Power Supplies Important! For phantom powering the C 420 L and C 420 B/lock with MPA II we recommend the optional N 62 E or N 66 E AC power supply or the B 18 battery supply (also optional) from AKG. Using any power supply other than those recommended by AKG may damage your microphone and will void the warranty. 2 Interfacing To connect to a balanced (XLR) input, use a 2.7 Connecting standard XLR cable. Cables To connect to an unbalanced input (mono jack), use a cable with a female XLR connector and TS jack plug (see fig. 1 below): 1. On the XLR connector, use a wire bridge to connect pin 1 to pin 3 and the cable shield. 2. Connect the inside wire of the cable to pin 2 on the XLR connector and the tip contact of the jack plug.

Adjust the temple pieces so that the behindthe- neck headband will rest securely against your head. Fig. 2: Adjusting the temple pieces. 2. Put the behind-the-neck headband on as shown in figs. 3 through 5. Fig. 3: Behind-theneck headband. Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 8: 5. Bend the gooseneck so that the microphone will sit to one side in front of the corner of your mouth. 6. Reeve the microphone cabl...
