UK - Based acoustically on the AKG Blue Line Series, the Architectural Microphone Series (AMS) allows users to customize the microphone by easily adjusting the length of the gooseneck module as well as selecting various designs for the shape of the capsule housing unit. The self-designed microphone can be personalized with any colour as well as a shiny gold, chrome or a nickel finish for professional settings. In total, the entire microphone series are available in more than 6,840 customizable settings.

Beside the three different polar patterns to match different room acoustics, the AMS showcases a diverse range of capabilities, such as flat frequency response for acoustic performance, gold sputtered ultra-low mass diaphragms, switchable bass cut filter and preattenuation pad. The series also offers an extremely high resistance to RF interference for extended versatility.

Adding on to the attributes of the AMS, the mics are equipped with a bayonet coupling system with self-cleaning contacts. The Blue Line bayonet coupling system enables the capsules to be easily change.

With the installation of any of the microphones in the AMS, different mounting modules are available, including a wide range of specialised mounting accessories specifically dedicated to making the installation easy and bringing the microphone into place. Blended rubber material and high mechanical damping in the shock mounts help to eliminate any mechanical vibrations.
