AKG CK80 High-Performance Shotgun Condenser Microphone Capsule for DAM Series

The AKG CK80 is a high–performance shotgun condenser capsule engineered for the DAM Series modular platform. Built on AKG's pro–audio pedigree, this capsule delivers a tight hypercardioid polar pattern with an 80° pickup angle, making it suited for isolating vocals and instruments in live sound and studio recording scenarios where rejection of ambient noise matters.

The CK80's speech–optimised frequency response prioritises clarity and intelligibility in acoustically demanding environments—a practical asset when capturing vocals during DJ sets, live performances, or podcast–style commentary in less–than–ideal spaces. It pairs with any DAM Series mounting module via highly reliable contact connectors, ensuring consistent signal integrity across mic placements and configurations. The hypercardioid pattern narrows the acceptance angle significantly, delivering strong feedback rejection in monitors and close–proximity applications.
