Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of a cardioid lavalier like the CK97 over omnidirectional options?
Cardioid lavaliers focus audio capture toward the speaker's mouth while rejecting ambience from behind—ideal for lectures, theater performances, and corporate events where minimizing audience noise is crucial.
How does the minimum ambience pickup benefit a theater production?
By rejecting rear and side noise, the CK97 isolates the actor's dialogue from audience, house lights, and backstage activity, delivering clean, focused dialogue to recording and monitoring systems without audience hum contamination.
What does high gain before feedback mean for a lavalier in a theater?
High gain before feedback allows the preamp to amplify the cardioid signal substantially before it squeals, providing headroom for proper levels in theater sound reinforcement, recording, and wireless transmission.
Which AKG wireless bodypack transmitters is the CK97 compatible with?
The CK97 features a mini XLR connector designed to work with all AKG wireless bodypack transmitters, enabling seamless integration into existing theater, corporate, and event wireless systems.
How is the CK97 typically used in live performance?
