Gooseneck microphones are often overlooked, but they are high-performing electro-acoustic
devices which carry out difficult work discreetly and reliably. They have to function flawlessly
in demanding situations with very different, often inexperienced speakers. Yet at the same
time they have to deliver perfect speech clarity. AKG Discreet Acoustics Modular Series
microphones have been in continuous use at international meetings, conferences and
summits, in parliaments and in churches for decades and are recognized as an industry
standard.
Depending on the specific purpose, special requirements can often only be fulfilled by modular
systems. The Discreet Acoustics Modular Series is renowned worldwide for its durability,
reliability and flexibility.
Modularity: The AKG Discreet Acoustics Modular Series offers a choice of interchangeable
capsule modules with different polar patterns and frequency responses. A wide range of
goosenecks and installation modules is also available. In addition, there are special-purpose
modules for applications not covered by any other available products. They can be used in
conjunction with wireless systems as well as with AKG's digital conference system CS5. Their
rapidly changeable capsules not only allow optimal adaptation to different rooms and speakers
but also enable quick microphone capsule exchange if, in exceptional circumstances, anything
should go wrong.
Reliability: A wide range of features minimizes the risk of operating errors, material fatigue,
or signal dropouts. The LED ring and self-cleaning gold-plated contacts for the threaded
connections are standard, as are anti-twist cables and a switchable bass roll-off filter.
Low profile: The extremely compact design and matte finish underscore the inconspicuous
appearance of the Discreet Acoustics Modular Series. The low-profile installation modules
ensure quick setup and takedown of all versions of the series. Excellent response and
extremely good intelligibility make the Discreet Acoustics Modular Series the first choice
whenever quality and reliability have top priority. Small wonder that decision makers all over
the world appreciate AKG as a professional partner. Targeting the premier league of the
installation market, the further development of the Discreet Acoustics Modular Plus Series
means that literally everything became even better. Its slimmer design and improved audio
quality are a perfect fit in the high-end market. An additional interface between gooseneck
module and phantom power adapter means added modularity and flexibility, resulting in
significant advantages throughout the distribution chain, where fewer variations need to be
stocked. Moreover, installers will receive the required products faster and the added
modularity and new accessories will enable solutions for applications never before dreamed
of. With just a few components on hand, the Discreet Acoustics Modular Series allows a
nearly unlimited number of combinations.
The Discreet Acoustics Modular Plus Series is the logical evolution of AKG's Modular Series. It
brilliantly fulfills all essential requirements for professional sound system applications. It is
quick, reliable and available – and it works perfectly for you!
