This figure-eight capsule prefers sound arriving from opposite directions and efficiently suppresses off-axis sounds. The CK 94 is a perfect tool for situations where sound sources face each other. Recommended applications include interviewing, choir miking, drum overheads as well as Blumlein and M/S stereo techniques in combination with a cardioid or hypercardioid microphone. The CK 94 Includes a foam windscreen.
The AKG Blue Line Series consists of a family of directional prepolarized condenser capsules and microphone configurations that are all compatible with a single powering/output assembly. Because of the general popularity of the cardioid pattern, the CK 91 cardioid capsule and SE 300 B powering/output assembly are sold as a single unit, the AKG Model C 391 B microphone.
The remaining Blue Line capsules offer the following patterns: CK 92 (omnidirectional), CK 93 (hypercardioid), CK 94 (bidirectional), and CK 98 (shotgun capsule, high directivity). Two additional configurations are available: CK 97-O (omnidirectional lavalier) and the CK 97-C (cardioid lavalier).
The Blue Line Series is suitable for studio, live sound, and a variety of speech reinforcement applications, where the facility for switching capsules is a major advantage. The positive Modulock™ bayonet design allows these changes to be made quickly.
The Blue Line microphones exhibit accurate axial response and uniform pattern control. Self noise and maximum operating levels are exemplary, creating a very wide usable dynamic range for the most demanding operations.
The SE 300 B powering/ output assembly provides for 10 dB of attenuation for operation at high sound pressure levels, as well as a 12 dB/octave low cut below 75 Hz for close usage. A complete line of optional accessories is available including an extension cable for operating the microphone capsule up to 10 ft. (3 meters) from the powering/output module.
