Step on stage with a studio legend. With the new C636, AKG has evolved the legendary C535 for the today's rigorous requirements of live performance by adding innovative new approaches to handling noise, pop and feedback rejection. Offering the pure studio sound you've grown to love and housed in a worry-free durable housing, you can now focus on your vocal performance-not on the performance of your microphone. Made with hand-selected components and manually tuned for a pure, transparent tone, the new C636 retains the spirit of the classic AKG C535 condenser microphone, while meeting the demands of the world's top vocal performers.
Studio-quality Sound
By keeping the C535 sound untouched, the C636 captures your sound unfiltered and uncompressed like no other mic on the market.
Proprietary Double Shock Suspension System
Eliminates Handling Noise.
Multilayer Pop Noise Protection
Eliminates plosives.
Uniform Cardioid Pattern
Eliminates feedback.
Rugged Construction
With extremely rugged zinc alloy construction and a spring steel grille, the C636 stands up to the most demanding tour schedules. And its 24-karat gold-plated capsule protects the microphone against moisture and corrosion. Just focus on your performance-the C636 will take care of the rest, night after night.
24-carat Gold-plated Capsule
For robust stage reliability.
Feedback Elimination
Uniform cardioid polar pattern throughout the entire frequency spectrum combined with a specially designed suspension and grille for the capsule essentially eliminates feedback.

World-famous AKG Condenser Sound Quality
For 70 years, AKG has pioneered the art of premium studio-quality sound and we understand it's what's inside that counts. Continuing this legacy, the C636 WL1 microphone head features a custom-tuned cardioid condenser capsule with hand-selected components.
Be Aggressive, the C636 Can Take It
If you've ever tried to bring a studio mic on stage, you know they're too delicate to stand up to the task. The C636 mic's proprietary double shock suspension system greatly reduces handling noise, even during the most energetic on-stage performances. Its capsule sits on a highly absorbent rubber bearing, eliminating any structure-based noise, while an adjustable balancing network cancels vibrations over a wide frequency range. In addition, a substantial brass layer below the capsule serves as a counterweight that increases stability and delivers cleaner acoustics.
A New Approach to Broad-Spectrum Feedback Rejection
The C636 essentially eliminates feedback by combining a uniform cardioid polar pattern throughout the entire frequency spectrum with a specially designed suspension and grille for the capsule. This unique approach to housing the capsule avoids unwanted sound reflections on the back of the capsule from stage sound sources, the most common cause of feedback in other microphones.
