AKG CK99L Condenser Lavalier Microphone

AKG CK99L Condenser Lavalier Microphone

The AKG CK99L is a compact condenser lavalier designed for discreet, reliable vocal capture in live sound and broadcast applications. Its diminutive form factor—23mm height with an 8mm diameter—sits virtually invisible on talent, while the included metal clip secures it firmly to clothing without slipping. This microphone delivers the transparent presence and rejection characteristics professionals expect from a purpose-built lavalier system.

Audio Performance

The cardioid polar pattern with a 125° pickup angle focuses rejection of off-axis sound, minimizing ambient noise and feedback in crowded environments. A frequency response of 150–18000 Hz captures clear vocals while rolling off rumble, and the 60 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio ensures clean audio even in modest gain-staging scenarios, making it suitable for both speech and singing applications.

Design & Build

The 1.6m three-pin mini XLR cable integrates seamlessly with all AKG wireless body pack transmitters, eliminating compatibility concerns on multi-brand systems. Its robust metal clip and minuscule capsule design allow extended wear without fatigue, and the 200 Ohms impedance matches standard wireless pack inputs reliably across setups.
