AKG CGN99 H/L Hypercardioid condenser Gooseneck Microphone vs AKG RMU700 Rack Mount Kit
The CGN99 H/L is a fixed-installation hypercardioid condenser microphone for live speech and worship venues, while the RMU700 is a passive rack-mount bracket for wireless microphone charging units—they serve completely different purposes and cannot be compared as alternatives. A buyer needs to determine whether they require a microphone first, or charging infrastructure for existing wireless systems.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use these products together?
No. The CGN99 H/L is a wired microphone that connects directly to a mixer via XLR. The RMU700 is a rack bracket for wireless microphone chargers and serves an entirely different function in the signal chain.
What is the CGN99 H/L best suited for?
Live performance, worship venues, theater, and conference presentations where a fixed-position wired microphone with excellent rejection of ambient noise and feedback is required. It is not designed for music recording or instrument miking.
What does the RMU700 actually do?
The RMU700 is a passive mounting bracket that holds one or two AKG CU700 or CU800 wireless microphone charging units inside a standard 19-inch studio rack, organizing charging infrastructure without adding height or depth.
Which product is better value?
This question does not apply—they address different needs. The CGN99 H/L is a microphone you purchase when you need a microphone; the RMU700 is an accessory you purchase only if you already own compatible AKG wireless charging units and want to mount them in a rack.
