The C 535 EB has the clean, open characteristic of AKG's best studio condensers, enhanced by a 2dB rise between 7 and 12kHz to project vocals in front of the mix.

An integral 4-position switch tailors output level and bass roll-off for a variety of uses. A sharp LF cut at the full output level reduces pops and handling noise in vocal applications, while a more gradual roll-off at the reduced output is ideal for most instrument applications. The C 535 EB requires 9-52 V phantom power.

The C535EB features a switchable 14 dB pre-attenuation pad and 6 dB/octave bass roll-off at 500 Hz. The microphone comes with black finish.
