AKG CGN99H Small Hypercardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone
The AKG CGN99H Small is a compact 30 cm DAC Series hypercardioid condenser gooseneck microphone offering tight off-axis noise rejection, an integrated XLR phantom power adapter with 250 Hz bass roll-off, and suitability for both fixed and mobile installations.Overview
The AKG CGN99H Small is the compact version of AKG's hypercardioid DAC Series gooseneck microphone family. With a 30 cm gooseneck and a tight hypercardioid polar pattern, it excels in noisy environments and situations where speakers may be at a greater distance from the microphone. The 250 Hz bass roll-off of the integrated phantom power adapter effectively suppresses low-frequency room noise, while the XLR connector works with virtually any mixer or conference processor.

FAQ
What is the main advantage of the hypercardioid pattern in a conference setting?
The hypercardioid pattern has a narrower front pickup angle and greater side rejection compared to a cardioid, minimising pickup of ambient noise, adjacent speakers, and HVAC systems.
Can this mic be used with AKG conference system base units?
The CGN99H Small connects via standard XLR, making it compatible with conference systems, mixers, and processors that provide 9–52 V phantom power.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "Small" designation mean for the CGN99H hypercardioid gooseneck?
The Small refers to the 30 cm compact gooseneck length, combining hypercardioid off-axis rejection with a minimal footprint. This suits space-limited environments where tight rejection and compact installation are both needed.
How does a compact hypercardioid microphone improve audio capture in small, noisy spaces?
The CGN99H Small provides hypercardioid tight pattern rejection in a compact 30 cm form, ideal for cramped high-noise environments such as small factory offices, busy reception areas, or narrow conference alcoves.
What are fixed and mobile installation applications for the CGN99H Small?
Fixed installations include permanent mounting in small conference rooms or factory floors. Mobile uses include temporary conference setups, traveling executive teams, or emergency management centers that require rapid deployment and tight noise rejection.
Does the tight hypercardioid pattern of the CGN99H Small make it too directional for multi-speaker situations?
The hypercardioid pattern is tighter than cardioid but still accommodates multiple speakers sitting at the same table or within the frontal pickup area. For widely scattered speakers or very large tables, standard cardioid is more appropriate.
How does the 250 Hz bass roll-off benefit machinery-heavy environments?
The bass roll-off eliminates deep rumble and vibration from pumps, motors, and ventilation systems, leaving clean mid and high-frequency speech capture. This preserves speaker intelligibility in environments filled with low-frequency ambient noise.
Is the integrated phantom power adapter essential for installation in mobile or temporary settings?
Yes, the integrated adapter simplifies connections to portable mixers and audio systems. This is especially valuable in temporary setups where quick deployment and minimal cable routing are critical.
