AKG CK62 ULS Reference Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone Capsule
The AKG CK62 ULS is a compact reference-grade condenser capsule engineered for precision studio and location recording. Its omnidirectional pickup pattern and self-cleaning gold-plated contacts deliver consistent, transparent audio capture in demanding professional environments. This capsule pairs exclusively with the C480 B pre-amp, forming a modular system designed for exacting applications where accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable.
Design & Build Quality
The capsule measures just 27 mm in height and 21 mm in diameter, making it highly portable without sacrificing durability. Its matte black finish and large-area, self-cleaning gold-plated contacts resist oxidation and ensure stable signal transfer over extended use, while the compact form factor integrates seamlessly into boom and stand-mounted rigs for studio sessions and field recording applications.
Recording Characteristics
A 20–20,000 Hz frequency response ensures full-spectrum capture of instrument and vocal detail across the entire frequency spectrum. The sensitivity of 20 mV/Pa paired with an 83 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio produces clean, low-noise recordings suitable for close-miking and sensitive sources. The 11 dB-A equivalent noise level maximizes headroom for dynamic range in your tracks and provides ample margin for post-production processing without noise floor degradation.
