NEW YORK — Missy Elliot used a crystal stone AKG D 5 wireless microphone for her debut performance on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman recently, singing “Get Involved.” Using her microphone, Elliot performed before a viewing audience of more than three million people without a glitch. Along with its crystal stone-studded looks and spring steel-wire mesh grille, the D 5 handheld mic features the AKG laminated varimotion diaphragm and a supercardiod polar pattern to ensure maximum gain before feedback.
“The AKG D 5 handheld microphone is perfectly suited for these types of applications,” said Joseph Wagoner, AKG’s product manager for wireless tour and installed sound. “These mics are designed to give the performers the most flexibility possible without compromising the sonic quality that AKG is famous for.”
“Artists around the world enjoy AKG because we always put sound first,” said Walter Ruhrig, AKG’s artist relation’s manager. “These mics are no different. They deliver unrivalled sound integrity coupled with sonic flare. We’re please that Missy chose to use our mics and we look forward to working with her and other artists around the world to ensure great sound pervades.”
AKG is a unit of Harman International Industries, Inc.
