The C 477 WR is a highly professional head-worn condenser micro-
phone specifically designed for almost "invisible" use by performers on
stage and radio or TV moderators. In line with this concept, the micro-
phone is extremely light.
The dual-diaphragm capsule of the C 477 WR features an additional
gold-sputtered protective diaphragm that prevents moisture and
perspiration from penetrating into the transducer. This reduces the risk
of failure caused by humidity to a practical minimum.
The microphone arm is attached to the left-hand side of the behind-the-
neck headband. A right-hand version is also available for TV moderator
duos or similar applications.
The C 477 WR is available in six versions:
1. C 477 WR L: with 3-pin mini XLR connector for use with AKG body-
pack transmitters or the optional MPA III phantom power adapter
from AKG for connecting to mixers or amplifiers. Black, microphone
on the left.
2. C 477 WR L/P: as C 477 WR L except for flesh-tone side pieces
and microphone.
3. C 477 WR oc: stripped and tinned leads. Black, microphone on the
left.
4. C 477 SH/P: with Lemo connector.
5. C 477 WR oc/P: stripped and tinned leads. Flesh-tone side pieces
