AKG C409 Wind Instrument Mic Without Clip

The AKG C409 is a miniature clip-on condenser microphone designed specifically for wind instruments, and this example is in excellent condition. AKG built the C409 to solve a real problem for live performance: getting a clean, consistent signal from a wind instrument without the feedback and positioning issues that come with stand-mounted mics. The miniature condenser capsule captures the nuanced dynamics and tonal complexity of woodwinds and brass with a level of accuracy that clip-on dynamic mics simply cannot match.

The C409 has been a working musician's standard for decades — used on stages and in studios where reliability and consistent tonality matter more than novelty. It's a professional-grade tool in a small package, designed for instruments that are difficult to mic consistently with conventional approaches. AKG's reputation in the transducer market is well established, and the C409 represents their practical, no-compromise approach to instrument reinforcement. This listing is for the microphone only, without a clip.

The microphone is in excellent condition. No clip is included with this unit. Buyers who require the mounting clip will need to source one separately.
