AKG DGN99E - Dynamic Gooseneck Microphone with XLR Connection

AKG DGN99E - Cardioid Dynamic Gooseneck Microphone with XLR Connection for PA and Conference Use

The AKG DGN99E is a gooseneck microphone designed for lecterns, podiums, and announcement stands in fixed installations. Its dynamic cardioid capsule is optimized for speech intelligibility , with off-axis noise rejection and high gain before feedback. Unlike electret microphones, the DGN99E does not require phantom power , simplifying integration into public address and communications systems.

The “E” model features an integrated male XLR connector at the base for quick and clean connection to preamplifiers or desk inputs. It offers a frequency response of 150–15,000 Hz , sensitivity of 2.2 mV/Pa and impedance of 530 Ω , with a recommended load of ≥ 2 kΩ . Its 100% metal construction and robust flexible neck ensure reliability in daily use. With an overall length of approximately 345 mm and a diameter of 34 mm , it integrates discreetly into conference, reception, education or worship room furniture.
