The AKG Ara dual-mode USB microphone lets podcasters, bloggers, gamers and musicians capture pro-quality, high-resolution sound right from their desktops. Whether you're streaming or recording, capture audio at up to 24-bit, 96kHz resolution for crystal-clear speech clarity and stunning vocal and instrument tracks. Ara's dual pickup patterns let you focus on a single voice or instrument or everyone in the room. Choose the directional Front (cardioid) pattern to focus on sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting sound from other sides; use the Front + Back (omni) pattern to pick up sounds all around the mic, such as multiple speakers or a group of performers. Use Ara with the integrated base stand (included), on a desktop boom arm, or with a common microphone stand. On the go? Take an OTG adapter or Apple Camera Adapter with you, and use Ara when away from your desktop computer. It's plug-and-play simple, thanks to USB connectivity and class-compliant drivers.

KEY MESSAGES | Pro-Grade, High-Quality Sound
Record professional-quality audio at up to 24-bit, 96kHz resolution for ultimate speech clarity and stunning vocal and instrument tracks. Gamers experience the thrills of fidelity that outperforms headsets, and videoconferencing is elevated with crystal-clear sound that's far superior to built-in laptop or phone mics. And with a max SPL of 120 dB, there's plenty of headroom for recording high-output instruments like drums, horns and electric guitars.

Record Anything With Capsule Array Modes
Ara provides two selectable pickup patterns for maximum versatility. The directional Front (cardioid) pattern captures sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting sound from other sides; it's perfect for podcast hosts, bloggers, gamers, videoconferencing and miking instruments. The Front and Back (omni) pattern picks up sound evenly from all sides, making it ideal for capturing interviews with multiple speakers, tracking multiple singers and instruments, or recording ambient sounds on location.

The CDi DriveCore Series is an evolution in amplification, providing an impressive mix of high-performance; rich feature set, and competitive cost. Using technology derived from our flagship Installed Sound amplifier (Crown DriveCore Install series), the CDi DriveCore 4|600 offers streamlined functionality to work in almost any medium sized installation such as cinema, houses of worship, bars, lounges, and more. Designed for ease-of-use in a variety of applications, the 4|600 is a 4-channel amp that includes network control/monitoring, high-level DSP, front-panel interface, and support for driving up to 100Vrms speaker loads without requiring a transformer. The entire CDi DriveCore line comes pre-loaded with JBL speaker tunings to help make installations quicker and easier.

Stay smart and dry

Following up on the legendary performance of the C544 and C555, AKG has created the next generation of head-worn microphone, the new HC644 MD. This high-performance head-worn condenser microphone is the perfect tool for presenters in the corporate market but also ideal for sport applications like aerobics. More and more wireless systems in the low to mid-price range are based on 2.4 GHz technology causing nasty interference with microphones. The new HC644 MD is well protected against those problems. The main improvements of the new version are a smaller capsule design with a higher sensitivity, an exceptional RF shielding, a sweat-resistant design and the ability to fit to all major wireless systems on the market.

Configurable Pattern, Unique 3-Way 15" Design

The 9350 packs a sonic punch, and delivers extraordinary coverage through its advanced engineering, including three patent-pending technologies. Each loudspeaker generates a sculpted side or rear pattern, adjusted with the flick of a switch. With a passive crossover network, waveguide technologies, and line array techniques, coverage can be adjusted to fit a theatre's unique environment. The 9350 further enhances coverage by configurable vertical and horizontal coverage angles based on whether the surround is located on the rear or side wall location.

The result? Premium performance and left/right balance overall, an accomplishment unheard of in cinema. It means the sonic sweet spot just got a whole lot bigger, and that sculpted, impactful sound now comes from all sides. Ultimately, the audience becomes immersed in an audio experience like none other. Rely on the 9350, the ideal complement to front screen loudspeakers, for superior sonic character and dynamics - everywhere.

Features
