AKG CK98 High Performance Short Shotgun Condenser Microphone Capsule

The AKG CK98 is a professional-grade shotgun microphone capsule designed for use with AKG's Blue Line Series preamp modules (like the SE300B).

The CK98 high-performance small condenser capsule combines high sensitivity and controlled directivity. It offers excellent reach thanks to a very tight polar pattern and exceptionally low self noise. Small size and low weight make the CK98 ideal for boom applications. The smooth, wide-band frequency response makes it a superb choice for edge-of-stage and ceiling placement in theaters. The CK98 is part of the Blue Line Series and works exclusively with the SE300 B pre-amp module. Its robust Modulock™ bayonet coupling allows quick and easy changing of the capsules.
