AKG DGN 99 Dynamic Gooseneck Microphone with Open Cable Termination
The AKG DGN 99 is a rugged cardioid dynamic gooseneck microphone with a 2-meter open-ended cable, designed for PA, paging, and communication systems — requiring no phantom power and delivering speech-optimized frequency response.Overview
The AKG DGN 99 is a durable cardioid dynamic gooseneck microphone optimized for public address, paging, and general communication applications. Its frequency response is tailored to maximize speech intelligibility, with good off-axis rejection to maintain high gain before feedback. The 2-meter open-ended (unterminated) cable simplifies integration into custom paging and installed sound systems. As a dynamic microphone, the DGN 99 requires no phantom power, reducing complexity in simple PA installations.
