BUILD & DESIGN

The AKG D190 C features a slim, cylindrical housing with a fine metal grille and understated industrial elegance. Made in Austria, it reflects AKG’s classic build philosophy: durable, precise, and purpose-driven.
Connectivity is via a small Tuchel connector. Internally, the microphone uses a dynamic capsule tuned for clear articulation and controlled proximity effect. The design is more balance over flavour, making it suitable for a wide range of voice and instrument applications.

SOUND CHARACTERISTICS

The D190 C delivers a focused, natural midrange with very good speech clarity. High frequencies are smooth and controlled rather than hyped, while the low end remains tight and usable without excessive proximity buildup.
In practice, it works beautifully for spoken word, vocals, guitar cabinets, and even snare close-miking when a controlled tone is desired.

50 Hz – 15,000 Hz


Gentle presence lift in the upper midrange for clarity

  • Smooth high-frequency roll-off above ~12–15 kHz
