AKG have obviously put this out as their version of the “SM”. SM is a great mic and an industry standard but I think this AKG gives it a run for its money.
Good looking, robust, on-off switch and sounds excellent.
I use it as a keyboard player doing backing vocals so the on/off switch is handy for when I’m not contributing vocally and prevents unwanted sounds being picked up.
All in all, great value for money

Solid

Solid mic, one of my best mics. Use it very often when i lead worship at my Church! Solid made and looks nice, sound is decent for my voice. I'm not a professional singer, so can't tell a lot more about the specs but like the sound and i'm happy with the AKG's mics, have few of them and so far so good! Reccomend

Better than the SM-58
Anonymous 27.01.2016
A great vocal mic that suits a higher voice. The bass response from these mics is quite high which can enrich a higher voice. I wouldn't advise getting one if your voice is already quite bassy.
From my experience the cardioid pattern is a bit tighter than the SM-58 which means you will need to be facing directly into the mic more than an SM-58. This reduces the chances of feedback on a properly set up stage. However if you move out of the cardioid pattern your voice will lose volume & clarity quicker than you would with other mics with a larger cardioid pattern.
I have 2 of these mics and use them every weekend. They have never let me down. Have used them for recording vocals, guitars and snare with nice results as well.
A great price for a great mic.

AKG D5 S

I have used this microphone for quite some time now and I have to say it is performing as it was specified. Clear sound. I recommend it.

My secret weapon
Jon C. 18.05.2013
I bought this D5s, as I needed a mic that would sound warm when singing through it, (quite low male vocal) and also take my Harmonica blowing up some blues (on a neck rack). I had to get a foam windshield to cope with the extra air flow from the Harp, but when I did, this mic is now my favourite live mic ever and has become my secret weapon. Since changing to AKG I have had several after show comments on how good my vocals were; Trust me, I never had this before... Thanks AKG; and now I'm saving up for the D7s.

Warm full sound

This is my personal mic and my favorite to use live on my own voice. (bariton) Like with all mics you need to test it on the voice. What works for me may not work for someone else.
The quality is really good. The switch is handy but not suited for people who are not used to using a mic. In that case better use a mic without a switch to prevent accidentally switching it of (or on when you don't want it to be on)
The only downside of this mic is the handling noise. This mic is only suited to use in a mic stand!

Worth every penny
Erik77 13.06.2015
This mic is a gem. It's cheap, it's pure quality, definitely beats the classic SM57 for me, which says a lot. AKG knows how to build microphones and this is the proof.
It's light, comes with case and clip - and the shape is really nice. It's a handsome fellow!

Great sound and visually very good looking Mic
JBell 11.02.2021
Sound clarity was perfect with no distortion even when shouting down the Mic. Nice to hold and not to heavy. We have used a lot of AKG products and would recommend their build quality and design.

great quality for the mney
Anonymous 06.03.2016
Had this a couple of years now, this is a good vocal mic for the money.
Gives a faithful reproduction of with live vocals and very little problems with feedback despite sitting over a monitor frequently.
The switch is clearly useful as an alternative to desk muting, and as a traditional band performing tunes for dancing too it is very handy to switch it off to get rid of background noise and just turning it back on when singing. Still works well even after a couple of drops!
Definitely recommended.
