description AKG C636 Overview
The AKG C636 is a cardioid condenser microphone designed primarily for use by mimes.

help AKG C636 FAQ
Is the AKG C636 a dynamic or condenser vocal microphone?
It is a handheld back-electret condenser with a cardioid pickup pattern. Unlike a typical dynamic stage microphone such as the Shure SM58, it requires 48-volt phantom power.
How does the C636 control handling noise?
AKG uses a proprietary double shock-suspension system to isolate the capsule from movement of the body. A three-layer pop-protection system separately reduces plosive bursts from consonants such as P and B.
Is the C636 the successor to the AKG C535?
AKG explicitly describes the C636 as an update of the C535 for modern live performance. It retains a detailed condenser-style vocal sound while adding stronger handling-noise, pop, and feedback control.
Can the AKG C636 cope with a very loud singer?
Its specified maximum level is 150 dB SPL at 1 percent total harmonic distortion. The microphone covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz and includes an 80 Hz bass-cut filter.
