2 Description

Introduction

Gooseneck microphones are often overlooked, but they are high-performing electro-acoustic devices which carry out difficult work discreetly and reliably. They have to function flawlessly in demanding situations with very different, often inexperienced speakers. Yet at the same time they have to deliver perfect speech clarity. AKG Discreet Acoustics Modular Series microphones have been in continuous use at international meetings, conferences and summits, in parliaments and in churches for decades and are recognized as an industry standard.

Depending on the specific purpose, special requirements can often only be fulfilled by modular systems. The Discreet Acoustics Modular Series is renowned worldwide for its durability, reliability and flexibility.

Modularity: The AKG Discreet Acoustics Modular Series offers a choice of interchangeable capsule modules with different polar patterns and frequency responses. A wide range of goosenecks and installation modules is also available. In addition, there are special-purpose modules for applications not covered by any other available products. They can be used in conjunction with wireless systems as well as with AKG's digital conference system CS5. Their rapidly changeable capsules not only allow optimal adaptation to different rooms and speakers but also enable quick microphone capsule exchange if, in exceptional circumstances, anything should go wrong.

Reliability: A wide range of features minimizes the risk of operating errors, material fatigue, or signal dropouts. The LED ring and self-cleaning gold-plated contacts for the threaded connections are standard, as are anti-twist cables and a switchable bass roll-off filter.

Low profile: The extremely compact design and matte finish underscore the inconspicuous appearance of the Discreet Acoustics Modular Series. The low-profile installation modules ensure quick setup and takedown of all versions of the series. Excellent response and extremely good intelligibility make the Discreet Acoustics Modular Series the first choice whenever quality and reliability have top priority. Small wonder that decision makers all over the world appreciate AKG as a professional partner. Targeting the premier league of the installation market, the further development of the Discreet Acoustics Modular Plus Series means that literally everything became even better. Its slimmer design and improved audio quality are a perfect fit in the high-end market. An additional interface between gooseneck module and phantom power adapter means added modularity and flexibility, resulting in significant advantages throughout the distribution chain, where fewer variations need to be stocked. Moreover, installers will receive the required products faster and the added modularity and new accessories will enable solutions for applications never before dreamed of. With just a few components on hand, the Discreet Acoustics Modular Series allows a nearly unlimited number of combinations.

The Discreet Acoustics Modular Plus Series is the logical evolution of AKG's Modular Series. It brilliantly fulfills all essential requirements for professional sound system applications. It is quick, reliable and available – and it works perfectly for you!

3 Microphone Applications

Note that both the maximum working distance and the area covered by the microphone depend on the pickup angle. The smaller the pickup angle (hypercardioid), the longer the maximum distance between the talker and the microphone and the smaller the area covered by the microphone.

Whether an omnidirectional, cardioid, or hypercardioid capsule will give the best results therefore depends on the specific application situation.

Omnidirectional capsules are primarily suited for recording use.

4 Installation and Connection

Capsule Modules

All Discreet Acoustics Modular Capsule Modules are condenser microphones and therefore require a power supply (phantom power). The Installation Modules have been designed for connection to microphone inputs with 9 to 52 V phantom power.

1) Screw the Capsule Module onto the Installation Module. The screw thread is relatively fine and therefore very smooth-running. Make sure not to tilt the capsule when placing it on the Installation Module thread because this would damage the thread.
2) To lock the capsule, use a single drop of commercial minimum-tack screw locking adhesive that allows you to unscrew the capsule later if needed.
3) For better visibility put the LED-Ring Expansion between the Installation Module and the Microphone Capsule. (The LED-Ring Expansion is enclosed to the Installation Module.)

NOTE

UNWANTED NOISE

Before replacing a Capsule Module, be sure to switch your sound system OFF in order to prevent unwanted noise.

Choose the Phantom Power Adapter according to your application.

Presentation

Theater

The CK49 is a reference condenser capsule with an 80° pickup angle and clean off-axis response. It is an ideal tool for inexperienced speakers; when people talk into the microphone from greater distances it focuses on the voice, and when they talk into it from very short distances it reduces pop-noise. Its special capsule is a further development of the legendary CK47 capsule. Like its predecessor, it is designed using AKG's unique staple technology for brilliant studio-quality audio performance.

The CK49 capsule is integrated into an extremely slim and rugged metal housing. It fits all gooseneck modules of the Modular Plus Series as well as the HM1000 M hanging module. To prevent contact problems the capsule is equipped with large-area, self-cleaning, gold-plated contacts with deep threads to prevent misalignment and ensure extra-long life. The CK49 comes complete with a windscreen that efficiently reduces wind and pop noise.

• Tight, hypercardioid polar pattern eliminates noise from the sides
• 80^ pickup angle for unexperienced speakers and greater distances
• Sophisticated staple capsule technology for studio-quality audio performance
  • Highly reliable capsule contacts prevent contact problems and ensure extra-long life

HM1000 M Hanging Module

1) Prior to installing the HM1000 M, straighten the cable by carefully pulling it through your fingers. Make sure not to buckle or twist the cable.
2) Fasten a hook to the ceiling, use an existing hook, or stretch a line across the hall.
3) Pass the cable through the hook or over the line so that it will hang at the desired height.
4) Fix the cable in place with electrician's tape.

ATTENTION

RISK OF DAMAGE!

Do not tie a knot into the cable to hang it on the hook.

5) Hold the cable with one hand and turn the microphone carefully into the desired position.

To activate the bass cut, refer to PAESP M (page 13), PAE5 M (page 14) or PAE M (page 15).

Steadying the microphone

To keep the microphone steady even in a draft,

1) Stretch a suitable length of fishing line horizontally across the room, passing the fishing line through the eye on the HM1000 M.
2) Fix the fishing line to two opposite walls so as to create just enough downward pull to steady the microphone laterally.

AKG ON/OFF PROGRAMMABLE PAESP M

Reference Programmable Powering Module

Small discussion systems

Press conference

Lectern

The Modular Plus Series PAESP M is a programmable phantom power module for fixed and mobile installation. With its wide voltage range the module will fit most available microphone mixers. It comes with a unique BCD (binary coded decimal) switch to recall one of the operating modes. Several functions can be adjusted, e.g. bass roll off, LED ring mode (on, off, follow mic function) as well as the mic switch mode (push to mute, push to talk, push on - push off).

The PAESP M features a completely noiseless microphone switch. Rather than actually disconnecting the signal, it reduces the level by 26 dB, thus avoiding the irritating crackling sound when phantom powering is interrupted. The switch is inconspicuously placed but easily accessible for simple handling even by inexperienced talkers. The integrated system connector with gold-plated contacts securely fits all available mounting modules of the Modular Plus Series.

• Programmable on/mute/off switch offers noiseless switching
• Selectable operating modes for switchable bass roll off and light-ring function
• RFi Shield technology provides high immunity to radio-frequency interference
• Accepts 9-52 V input for almost any available mixer inputs
  • Feeds all Modular Plus Series capsules for highest flexibility
