Built with durable all-metal housing and designed for lead and backing vocals, it delivers powerful, crisp sound that cuts through any mix, making it a top choice for vocalists seeking premium performance at an accessible price. ## Description The D 5 dynamic vocal microphone for lead and backing vocals delivers a powerful sound even on the noisiest stage. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback (for more details, visit www.akg.com/feedbackisdead). The D 5 stands for a crisp sound that cuts through every mix. AKG made the first microphone diaphragm ever whose thickness varies across its diameter. The new Laminated Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm itself to be fine-tuned with no extra tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance. The dual shock mount eliminates any kind of mechanical noise for trouble-free live use. The audience will hear nothing but the pristine sound of your voice! Review: I Am a Vocalist (and VERY PICKY about My Microphone!) - I already own an AKG D3800 which was discontinued years ago but is my absolute can't-live-without microphone. I bring the D3800 with me everywhere I go when singing with other people. So, when I started looking for additional mics for other people who sing with me, I wanted to find "affordable" mics that had the best sound quality. I wanted to find a mic that I would use myself if I didn't have my D3800. The MAIN thing that matters to me is microphone sensitivity and quality/tone of vocals. It can be hard to compete with all the other instruments (especially during practices and with guitar players with amps), so the microphone MUST be able to pick up my voice without me having to scream to be heard. This AKG D5 does the job and is absolutely the best for this price range. It's *almost* as good as my D3800 (which cost more than twice as much). I compared the AKG D5 to the Sennheiser e835. The AKG D5 is louder and has more high end. And as far as comparing to the Shure SM58... I can't stand the Shure SM58. Why do people keep buying those?? They're horrible for vocalists. They don't pick up the sound as well, and they're muddy, in my humble opinion. The Sennheiser e935 is slightly better than this AKG D5, but it's also a lot more expensive. I'm so happy with this AKG D5 that I'm going to buy more of them to have on hand for the other vocalists who practice with me. I definitely recommend this microphone. Happy singing! Review: Very nice sounding mic! - I bought this mic as an additional option to the other $100 category vocal mics that I own. Namely, the Shure Beta 58 and Audix OM-2, which are also very popular vocal mics. In comparison, this mic falls in between these two. The Shure Beta 58 is the hottest of the three and has the most pronounced high mid frequencies. This also makes it more prone to feedback. The OM-2 is a very smooth and even sounding mic. More high end sizzle than the 58 and more lows as well, but less mids. So this is where the D5 fits in the mix. It has the same lows and highs as the OM-2, but just a little more high mid presence. Not as much as the 58. So in order: Audix OM2 - Very smooth/even response. AKG D5 - Smooth/ even repsonse and Shure Beta 58 - pronounced high mids. The Shure has the least amount of handling noise, while the others are a little louder but not too bad. The next mic I want to add to my arsenal is the Blue Encore 100, which I've heard is also very good. You can't go too wrong with any of these four mics, but if you are looking for subtle differences to accomodate different vocalists, hopefully this review can help you. For the price, it's worth a try. ## Features - Connectivity Technology: Wired, Wireless ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000S5JKRQ | | Antenna Location | Singing | | Audible Noise | 80 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 52 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,196 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #75 in Vocal Dynamic Microphones | | Brand | AKG | | Built-In Media | D5 Microphone, Microphone Bag, SA61 Stand Adaptor | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier, Karaoke Machine, Radio, Speaker | | Connectivity Technology | Wired, Wireless | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (913) | | Frequency Response | 70 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885038018575, 09002761018578 | | Impedance | 600 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 7.87 x 2.76 x 5.51 inches | | Item Type Name | D5 | | Item Weight | 1.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | AKG | | Mfr Part Number | 3138X00070 | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Number | 3138X00070 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Super Cardioid | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 80 dB | | Special Feature | Volume Control | | UPC | 885038018575 368298554019 616268565139 644535647509 700315946627 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 YEAR | ## Product Details - **Audio Sensitivity:** 52 Decibels - **Brand:** AKG - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Amplifier, Karaoke Machine, Radio, Speaker - **Connectivity Technology:** Wired, Wireless - **Included Components:** D5 Microphone, Microphone Bag, SA61 Stand Adaptor - **Item Weight:** 1.3 Pounds - **Polar Pattern:** Super Cardioid - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Singing - **Special Feature:** Volume Control ## Images ![D5 Vocal Dynamic Microphone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AzZDqeqoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is there a way to plug it into a pc to record it and if there is how would u do it** A: You will need an audio interface, or a mixer built-in USB/Audio Interface. I would recommend you a Behringer Xenyx Q502USB, this mixer can do the job. And how to record audio? with a simple audio recording program like Audacity. **Q: Does this require phantom power ? or can this be operated under normal circumstances ? can this replace a shure sm58 directly ?** A: Because this is a dynamic microphone it does not require phantom power. It could be used as a direct replacement for a sm58 **Q: What kind of chord is needed for this mic to connect to a speaker?** A: It can't be directly connected to a speaker, it needs to go through a pa system, in which case you would need an XLR (3-prong) chord. If you're talking about one of those block rocker speakers, like the ones they sell at costco, then you would need the female xlr/ to male 1/4 inch chord. I hope this helps. **Q: can i use xvive u3 wireless xlr on this mic?** A: Yes I do myself. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Am a Vocalist (and VERY PICKY about My Microphone!) *by B***L on January 24, 2023* I already own an AKG D3800 which was discontinued years ago but is my absolute can't-live-without microphone.

It's hard to go wrong with a dynamic microphone these days. Out of the box, this microphone sounds great for my voice which is I think in the baritone range, but whether or not this mic will be fitting for your voice will have to be determined by you. How you like the sound is all just preference. I've been using it with a Behringer UMC204HD audio interface and it just works. I do tend to talk very close to the mic which causes it to sound a bit boomy, so I do cut off some of the low and high end frequencies with an EQ, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. It's solidly built with an all-metal construction and looks sleek in all black with the gray ring accent over the capsule grill. ## Frequently Bought Together - AKG D5 Vocal Dynamic Microphone - Amazon Basics XLR Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 25 Foot, Black - Amazon Basics Adjustable Boom Arm Height Microphone Stand with Tripod Base, Up to 85.75 Inches - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1775512-d5-vocal-dynamic-microphone](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1775512-d5-vocal-dynamic-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
