The C 430 is a condenser microphone and there-
fore needs a power supply.
The microphone provides a balanced output on a
3-pin male XLR connector:
Pin 1: ground
Pin 2: hot
Pin 3: return
You can connect the microphone either to a
balanced microphone input with or without phan-
tom power or an unbalanced microphone input.
1. Use an XLR cable (e.g., the optional MK 9/10
from AKG) to connect the microphone to a
balanced XLR input with phantom power.
2. Switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the in-
struction manual of the unit to which you
connected your C 430.)
Fig. 2: Connecting to a balanced input.
1. If your mixer provides no phantom power,
connect an optional AKG phantom power
supply (N 62 E, N 66 E, B 18, B 15) between
the microphone and the mixer.
