AKG CK33 Hypercardioid Modular Microphone Capsule for GN Series
The AKG CK33 is a hypercardioid condenser modular capsule for AKG GN Series, HM 1000, and LM 3 fixtures, delivering superior off-axis rejection and high gain before feedback with a dual-layer windscreen and gold-plated contacts.Overview
The AKG CK33 hypercardioid condenser capsule is designed for the AKG GN Series gooseneck, HM 1000 hanging, and LM 3 lavalier mounting modules. Its tight hypercardioid polar pattern delivers maximum directivity and exceptional off-axis rejection — a significant advantage in acoustically challenging environments where ambient noise or nearby speakers can interfere with the target source. The dual-layer windscreen design suppresses wind and pop noise at both the outer and inner layers before it reaches the diaphragm, and the gold-plated threaded contacts ensure a reliable, maintenance-free connection.
Key Features
- Hypercardioid polar pattern for high directivity and off-axis noise rejection
- 50 Hz–20 kHz frequency response with accurate, detail-rich reproduction
- Dual-layer windscreen: outer layer disperses wind, inner layer further diffuses before diaphragm
- Gold-plated, self-cleaning threaded contacts for long-term reliability
- Compatible with GN Series, HM 1000, and LM 3 mounting modules
- Modular design enables quick capsule replacement
Specifications
- Polar Pattern: Hypercardioid
- Frequency Range: 50 Hz – 20 kHz
- Color: Black
- Country of Origin: United States

FAQ
How does the CK33 differ from the CK31?
The CK33 has a hypercardioid pattern with tighter pickup and greater off-axis rejection compared to the CK31's wide cardioid — better for noisy environments or long-distance pickup.
What mounting modules accept the CK33?
The CK33 uses a threaded connection compatible with AKG GN Series gooseneck, HM 1000 hanging, and LM 3 lavalier modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose hypercardioid over cardioid for my installation?
Hypercardioid patterns like the CK33 deliver tighter off-axis rejection, making them ideal for dense conference tables, stage edges, or courtrooms where you want to isolate one speaker's voice from surrounding activity.
How does the CK33 handle feedback in high-volume settings?
Its hypercardioid pattern and high gain-before-feedback specification make it well-suited for amplified presentations, large meeting halls, and broadcast applications where audio margin is critical.
What frequency response does the CK33 provide?
Contact Procure.ae for detailed frequency response specifications; the capsule is optimized for speech and general audio in professional broadcast and installed sound applications.
Is the dual-layer windscreen sufficient for outdoor mounting?
The dual-layer windscreen reduces wind noise effectively indoors and in lightly sheltered outdoor settings; for harsh outdoor conditions, discuss additional wind protection options with Procure.ae.
Which AKG mounting modules does the CK33 work with?
The CK33 is designed for the GN Series modular system, HM 1000 hanging module, and LM 3 mounting hardware, enabling flexible placement in installed sound and broadcast studios.
How durable are the gold-plated contacts during regular use?
Gold plating on professional AKG connectors resists corrosion and maintains low-noise signal transfer through thousands of connect/disconnect cycles, supporting long-term reliable operation in busy facilities.
How quickly can Procure.ae deliver the CK33 to my office in the UAE?
Lead times vary based on stock and location; contact Procure.ae with your delivery address to receive a current quote and realistic timeline for this modular capsule.
Do you offer installation support if I am setting up a new GN Series system?
Procure.ae provides delivery across the UAE and GCC and can discuss integration guidance; contact the team to learn what technical support is available for your specific project.
What parts are included with the CK33 capsule?
The CK33 ships with a dual-layer windscreen and the capsule itself; mounting modules, preamps, and cables are sold separately through Procure.ae as part of your system build.
Is the CK33 compatible with non-AKG mounting systems?
No; the CK33 is engineered exclusively for the AKG GN Series, HM 1000, and LM 3 mounting modules and will not fit standard industry-generic gooseneck adapters.
Does the CK33 carry a warranty?
Contact Procure.ae to confirm warranty period, coverage conditions, and how claims are processed for microphone capsules shipped to your GCC location.
