EQ boosting
Published on 09/25/12 at 20:12OVERALL OPINION
My favorite part of the D5 is for the songs or vocals that are not punchy and are more mellow, it will still bring your voice out very clear (with a little EQ boost). But like I said it does need some work on a male voice that is deeper, you will have to do some cutting of the low frequencies in order for it to be clean. The value of this microphone is great for the price which is less than 100 dollars now. I have used a ton of microphones that are use for voice and this one does not stand out, but it doesn’t sound bad either. It is ok, if you only have about 100 dollars to spend for a vocal microphone for your home set up. This one should do the trick with no problems.

OVERALL OPINION
The AKG D 5 ended up sounding quite different from the venerable Shure SM58, and its tone was a bit less crunchy, despite its air. It does not endeavor to smooth anything out, though, which makes the D 5 a bit more suited to certain smaller venues than the SM58 and softer music as well. The SM58 cuts more than this microphone, but often, I find it too aggressive, and that is where the D 5 shines.

What kind of mic? (for vocals, instruments, both...)
Great-looking, sturdy and well-finished mic for vocals
The technology? (electret, condenser...)
Dynamic microphone. See specs on the AKG website
OVERALL OPINION
Which feature do you like best?
Its warm presence in the low mids, which is quite surprising for a dynamic mic in this price range!
Its response through the whole frequency range is not bad at all.
Which feature do you like least?
1) You need and EQ in the low mids to control the sound.
2) Handling noise requires a low cut (like many other mics with a similar price tag)
Did you try any of other models before...…

Did you try any of other models before buying this one?
For people who want to emphasize low mids on the vocals on stage, it's better than a SM58!!!
How would you rate its value for money?
Excellent!!!
Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
Yes

Live, but i guess you could use it for recording too...i mean people use SM58's for recording, and this is much better than that...
- What technology? (electret, condenser...)
It's a standard dynamic mic with an on-off switch.
Feels very sturdy...quite heavy...looks nice & pro.
OVERALL OPINION
- For how long have you been using it?
I've had it a few months, used it for a rehearsal and a live gig.
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
It's cheaper than an SM58, looks better, feels better and sounds MUCH better. What more could you ask for? Oh: it's better at feedback rejection.

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I've owned a Shure SM58 (sold cos it was rubbish) and a Sennheiser BF812 (wasn't much good either so i sold that too). I've tried others too and this was the best.
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
I paid 90 €, ie less than for an inferior Shure SM58.
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...
Of course i would. This is probably the best dynamic hand-held mic in this lower end of the market. I think you'd have to spend a loooooot more to get better. Who said KMS 105 ?
