AKG CK33 - Condenser Vocal Microphone Capsule with Hypercardioid Polar Pattern and 50Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG CK33 is a high-performance modular hypercardioid condenser microphone capsule, designed for use with the AKG GN Series, HM 1000, and LM 3 gooseneck, hanging, and lavalier microphone fixtures. This capsule is perfect for professional audio applications where clarity and precision are critical, offering exceptional sound quality and a high gain-before-feedback response. The hypercardioid polar pattern of the CK33 ensures superior directivity, capturing sound from the front while rejecting unwanted noise and ambiance from the sides, making it ideal for environments with loud speakers or monitors.

With a wide frequency response range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz, the CK33 delivers smooth, accurate, and rich audio reproduction. This broad frequency range helps minimize low-frequency noise caused by wind and proximity effects, ensuring clear and detailed sound across the entire vocal range. The dual-layer windscreen included with the CK33 enhances its performance by effectively reducing wind and pop noise. The outer layer of the windscreen disperses the incoming wind stream, while the inner layer further diffuses the wind flow before it reaches the microphone diaphragm, providing extra protection for your recordings or live performances.

The modular design of the CK33 allows for easy and quick capsule replacement, providing added flexibility and convenience for users who need to adjust their setup. It features a threaded connection, ensuring secure attachment to the compatible gooseneck or lavalier microphone fixtures. The CK33 is engineered with gold-plated contacts, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance. Its sensitivity of 20 mV/Pa and equivalent noise level of 21 dB-A deliver clear, high-fidelity sound, making it a reliable choice for professional use in broadcasting, conferencing, and public speaking.

With an electrical impedance of 600 Ohms and a recommended load impedance of 2000 Ohms, the CK33 offers compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The microphone operates with a voltage range of 9 to 52 V and a current consumption of 3 mA, ensuring efficient and reliable performance across various setups. Its compact size, with a height of 0.79 inches and a diameter of 0.53 inches, makes the CK33 an unobtrusive addition to any microphone system, while its matte dark gray finish ensures a sleek, professional appearance.
