AKG CGN99 C Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone

The AKG CGN99 C is a compact gooseneck condenser microphone engineered for speech reinforcement, presentation venues, and live sound applications where a permanently mounted mic serves multiple speakers. Its lightweight construction and flexible 380 mm gooseneck allow intuitive positioning without fatigue, while the integrated XLR connector and cardioid polar pattern deliver consistent, focused audio capture in moderate ambient noise environments.

Design & Build

At just 160 g with a 13.5 mm diameter gooseneck, this microphone integrates seamlessly into lecterns, podiums, and fixed installations. The matte black finish maintains a professional appearance across various settings, and the rugged construction withstands repeated positioning adjustments without degradation.

Audio Performance

The cardioid condenser design rejects off-axis noise while maintaining clear articulation across a 70–18,000 Hz frequency response suited to speech and acoustic sources. With a 73 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio, 21 dB-A equivalent noise level, and 125 dB peak SPL capability, this microphone handles moderate to high sound pressure levels without distortion or self-noise interference.
