AKG D5 S 4-stars Reviews

Warm full sound

This is my personal mic and my favorite to use live on my own voice. (bariton) Like with all mics you need to test it on the voice. What works for me may not work for someone else.

The quality is really good. The switch is handy but not suited for people who are not used to using a mic. In that case better use a mic without a switch to prevent accidentally switching it of (or on when you don't want it to be on)

The only downside of this mic is the handling noise. This mic is only suited to use in a mic stand!

Used a Shure SM58 for years, this is equally as good

Both the SM58 and D5 S are very similar. They require high gain but this is desirable where you don't want the environment picked up. I wouldn't recommend for streamers or the likes who want to be sat away from the mic while speaking

great quality for the mney

Had this a couple of years now, this is a good vocal mic for the money.

Gives a faithful reproduction of with live vocals and very little problems with feedback despite sitting over a monitor frequently.

The switch is clearly useful as an alternative to desk muting, and as a traditional band performing tunes for dancing too it is very handy to switch it off to get rid of background noise and just turning it back on when singing. Still works well even after a couple of drops!

Definitely recommended.

A proper vocal mic

This a good additional vocal mic to your arsenal of vocal mics, I think it's a good investment to have a bit clearer and different sound in addition to some shures standard mics.
