AKG CGN99 C/S Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphones

The CGN99 C/S excels in live performance, worship venues, broadcast studios, and fixed installations where clean audio capture and tight off-axis rejection are priorities. It is not recommended for portable mobile recording or high-SPL drum miking applications.

The 30cm flexible gooseneck allows intuitive positioning control to place the microphone exactly where you need it, while the compact 380mm overall height and matte black finish integrate seamlessly into any installation. Minimal vibration transmission keeps handling noise low.

The CGN99 C/S uses a balanced 3-pin male XLR connector and includes an integrated phantom power adapter for straightforward integration into standard mixing consoles and audio interfaces. It requires phantom power between 9–52V at 3 mA to operate.

The microphone delivers a 73 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio and 21 dB-A equivalent noise level, ensuring minimal hum and hiss even in challenging acoustic spaces. The 125° cardioid pickup angle provides tight rejection of off-axis noise while the 70–18,000 Hz response captures full vocal and instrument detail.

No; the CGN99 C/S is engineered with minimal proximity effect, delivering a warm professional tone without proximity coloration. This makes it ideal for vocals and instruments where tonal accuracy is important.
