AKG CK 63-ULS Hypercardioid Capsule

CK 63-ULS Hypercardioid Capsule description:

The AKG C 480 B preamplifier powering unit is the latest model in the ULS series. It accommodates the CK 61-ULS, CK 62-ULS, CK 63-ULS capsules and the new CK 69-ULS shotgun capsule, providing a higher order of performance for these capsules than previously available.

The new preamp has a vastly improved noise floor, permitting self noise performance with the four associated capsules in the range of 9 to 11 dB-A. Maximum sound pressure levels in the range of 144 dB (in the -10 dB sensitivity position) can be attained with no greater than 0.5% distortion, giving the capsules a new level of overall performance. An integral low cut filter (12 dB/octave) can be set for either 150 or 70 Hz. The +6 dB sensitivity position is intended to enhance the performance of the CK 69-ULS interference tube capsules, which normally operate over large distances.

With the available CK 61-ULS cardioid, CK 63-ULS hypercardioid, CK 62-ULS omnidirectional, and highly directional CK 69-ULS shotgun element, the C 480 Series is intended primarily for studio, broadcast and a variety of live sound and speech reinforcement applications in which state-of-the-art performance is mandated. A complete line of optional accessories is available. The C 480 B operates only on 48 volts phantom powering.
