AKG C568 B — buyer FAQs
What is the AKG C568 B and what is it used for?
The AKG C568 B is a camera-mountable short shotgun microphone intended for professional audio capture. Its directional pickup pattern isolates the target sound source and reduces background noise, making it suited to videographers, filmmakers and sound engineers who need reliable, unobtrusive on-camera audio in a range of production environments.
Who makes the AKG C568 B and where does it sit in the AKG range?
The AKG C568 B is made by AKG Acoustics, an Austrian audio company founded in 1947 and long associated with studio, broadcast and live-sound applications. The C568 B sits within AKG's microphone line as a compact, camera-oriented short shotgun model, bringing the brand's professional audio heritage to on-camera and field recording use.
Why choose a short shotgun design like the C568 B over a standard on-camera microphone?
A short shotgun microphone uses a directional pickup pattern to focus on sound coming from in front of the capsule while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. The C568 B's compact form keeps it unobtrusive on a camera rig, which makes it a practical alternative to broader-pattern on-camera microphones when cleaner source isolation is a priority.
What should I check when buying a second-hand AKG C568 B?
Inspect the capsule housing for physical damage that could affect the directional pickup pattern, and confirm the microphone powers on and passes clean signal without crackling or drop-outs. Check whether a mount or case is included, as these vary between used units.
