AKG CHM99/W - Hanging Condenser Microphone with Cardioid Polar Pattern and 70Hz to 18kHz Frequency Response in White Finish

The AKG CHM99/W Hanging Condenser Microphone is a versatile and discreet solution designed to capture audio from overhead in a variety of professional environments. Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for applications where an unobtrusive microphone is needed, such as in churches, auditoriums, town halls, theaters, and other venues. The cardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback, which is crucial for capturing clear, high-quality sound from choirs, actors, and ambient environments without picking up unwanted noise from other directions. With its 125° pickup angle and high sensitivity, the CHM99/W delivers excellent sound reproduction for a wide range of applications.

The CHM99/W is equipped with a cardioid polar pattern, which helps minimize the pickup of sound from the rear and sides, ensuring that only the desired audio is captured. This is particularly useful in environments with high ambient noise or when the microphone is suspended in a space where feedback may be a concern. The microphone's lightweight design and integrated spring steel clamp allow for easy suspension from ceilings, beams, or other overhead fixtures, while also providing simple adjustment of the microphone's angle to suit different recording needs.

This microphone is especially well-suited for choir recordings, capturing the full range of voices with clarity and precision. It is designed to provide high-quality audio for any event, offering excellent performance with a frequency response range from 70 Hz to 18 kHz. With its built-in 10-meter (33 ft.) cable, it is ready for easy installation, ensuring flexibility in setup and use. The included windscreen helps reduce unwanted noise from air movement and handling, further enhancing the overall sound quality.

Whether used in a house of worship, a live theater performance, or an auditorium, the AKG CHM99/W provides exceptional clarity and performance in a compact, durable package. Its versatile mounting options, cardioid pattern, and wide frequency response make it an ideal choice for professional audio capture in any setting.
