The CHM99 is a hanging microphone module for permanent installation. Part of AKG’s 99ers Series, this overhead mic is ideal for recording music or speech and is a great addition to sound setups in houses of worship, corporate conference rooms, and theatrical stages. If offers surprising combination of plug-and-play user-friendliness and professional performance.

Compact and unobtrusive, the CHM99 is packed with features that will make it easy to achieve quality sound. Its cardioid polar pattern minimizes pickup from the sides and rear, so you’re able to capture the sound you want and none of the background, ambient, or other extraneous noises you don’t. The mic has a built-in phantom power adapter that can be connected to any standard mixer input that uses a 9V to 52V power supply. Its 33-foot (10m) cable is specially designed to be twist-free, allowing you to position the mic with confidence that it will stay securely in place. A spring steel hanging clamp is included, allowing fast and easy installation, precise microphone alignment, and further placement security.

About Condenser Microphones at Sound Productions

Achieve professional polish to your studio sound with condenser microphones from Sound Productions. A condenser microphone uses a capacitor that converts sound vibrations into electric currents. It is characterized by increased sound sensitivity than a dynamic mic, enabling it to capture more natural, detailed audio from vocals and instruments.

Use a large-diaphragm condenser mic (sometimes called a “capacitor mic”) to optimize the sound of vocals, acoustic guitar, and ambient room audio. Alternatively, choose a small diaphragm condenser mic (or “pencil mic”) for acoustic instruments including guitars, classical instruments, cymbals, and drum overheads. The smaller capsule and lightweight build make it easy to place perfectly in almost any miking application, while the consistent polar pattern makes a pair of small-diaphragm condenser mics the perfect choice for stereo miking.

Compared to the other popular option of dynamic microphones, condenser mics are louder, pick up a wider frequency response, and enjoy an expansive dynamic range—all aspects that make them ideal for studio recording.
