PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The AKG CK80 is a modular hypercardioid shotgun microphone capsule designed for use with the AKG GN series, HM 1000, and LM 3 gooseneck, hanging and lavalier microphone fixtures. The hypercardioid polar pattern minimizes noise and ambiance at the off-axis (sides) of the microphone. The result increases directivity and provides high gain-before-feedback response when using near speakers or monitors.

The CK80 features pristine detail and accurate reproduction. The dual wind screen design employs an outer layer which disperses initial wind stream while the second layer further diffuses the wind stream before reaching the diaphragm. The module design allows quick and easy capsule replacement for added flexibility.

Proven reliability

The CK80 high-performance shotgun microphone capsule provides an 80° pickup angle and offers a speech-optimized frequency response. It offers an unbeatable price/performance ratio and good speech intelligibility in acoustically critical applications. The CK80 capsule fits any mounting module of the DAM Series. To prevent contact problems, the capsule is equipped with large-area, self-cleaning, gold-plated contacts with deep threads to prevent misalignment and ensure extra-long life. The CK80 comes complete with a professional windscreen that reduces wind and pop noise.
