AKG launches Connected-compatible vocal mic

AKG has launched a new AKG P5i high-performance dynamic vocal microphone –  the first designed to automatically configure with the new Harman Connected PA ecosystem.

“AKG P5i is the ideal microphone for musicians who want to spend less time setting up and more time focusing on their music,” said Erich Gaertner, product line manager at Harman Professional Solutions. “Unlike ordinary handheld live mics, P5i automatically recognises and configures with the Connected PA ecosystem of products to take the guesswork out of setting up and getting consistently great sound. And with legendary AKG engineering and sound quality at its core, P5i brings out the best in any performance.” 

AKG P5i is part of the HARMAN Connected PA family of products, and offers full compatibility with the new Harman Connected PA app for easier control, faster setup and better-quality results. Connected PA eliminates the need for multiple apps or graphic user interfaces (GUIs) and delivers plug-and-play operation with a variety of Harman equipment so users can control their entire live sound system with one app. Products within the Connected PA ecosystem self-identify with the new app, and setup wizards help customers to quickly optimise volume, configuration settings and sound quality.

The AKG P5i microphone is available now at £69 RRP inc VAT.
