AKG’s New 99 Series Microphone Offers A Wide Range Of Installed Sound Solutions

New AKG MicsAn introduction that brings high performance capsule technology and market proven reliability to the broadest fixed installation market, AKG introduces the comprehensive 99 Series microphone line. With nine different products that provide nine different applications, the 99 Series is a diverse group of microphones that offer a solution for nearly any installed sound application.

The new line – which consists of the CGN99, CHM99, CBL99, CK99L and the DGN99 - incorporates components from classic AKG products such as the capsule of the C542 BL boundary layer microphone and the well-proven acoustical components of the discreet gooseneck range. All of the microphones are equipped with proper RF shielding to meet the high demands of electromagnetic compatibility in everyday installations. The family consists of nine microphones for nearly any typical installed sound application, including: conferencing, paging, surveillance, on-stage use and recording.

“The 99 Series line is a unique range of high class but affordable and easily specified microphones for the installed sound market,” said Mario Siokola, Product Manager for the 99 Series. “The mix of superior acoustics, RF shielding and extraordinarily rugged mechanical design makes the 99 Series easy to install and absolutely reliable in use.”

The condenser gooseneck range includes the CGN99 C/S, CGN99 C/L, CGN99 H/S and CGN99 H/L, which provide both cardioid or hypercardioid polar patterns and can come on a short or long gooseneck stand. This range is the perfect solution for conferencing systems, lecterns, podiums and altars, too. Also included in the

99 Series range is the CHM99 hanging microphone on a 10 m twist-free cable. Available in either black or white, the CHM99 is an ideal microphone for teleconferencing applications, theatres, or as a choir microphone in a house of worship.

“The 99 Series line is one of our most versatile lines of microphones to date,” continued Siokola. “They are designed to provide a solution for nearly any type of installed sound application and they provide a price performance that is simply unmatched by any other microphone range.”

Also included in the 99 Series range is the CBL99; a compact boundary layer microphone using technology from high-end studio mics. It has a high sensitivity and a wide frequency range, and is optimised for use as a low profile desktop microphone in conference situations as well as choir or instrument applications.

Rounding out the 99 Series is the CK99 – a small lavalier microphone with a cardiod pickup pattern that makes it a feedback resistant-robust solution for speeches and house of worship applications- and the DGN99; a rugged, versatile microphone designed for all paging purposes, such as in a shopping mall or for transportation applications. The DGN99 is also available on a desk stand with a PTT switch as the DST 99 S.

All 99 Series Microphones at one competitive price point - RRP $229 (Except CK99L – RRP $149)
