AKG announced the introduction of the 99er line of microphones for installed sound applications at InfoComm 2010.
With nine different products in the line that provide nine different applications, the 99ers are 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, CK99 and the DGN99 – incorporates components from classic AKG products such as the capsule of the C542 BL boundary layer microphone and the acoustical components of the discreet gooseneck range.
All of the microphones are equipped with RF shielding to meet the demands of electromagnetic compatibility in everyday installations.
The family consists of nine microphones for nearly all installed sound applications, including conferencing, paging, surveillance, on-stage use and recording.
“The 99er 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 99ers.
“The mix of superior acoustics, RF shielding and extraordinarily rugged mechanical design makes the 99ers 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.
Also included in the 99er range is the CHM99 hanging microphone on a 10 m twist-free cable.
“The 99er line is one of our most versatile lines of microphones to date,” stated 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 99er range is the CBL99, a compact boundary layer microphone using technology from high-end studio mics, and the CK99, a small lavalier microphone with a cardiod pickup pattern.
