AKG CK 93

No one trick pony

The CK93 is a really good microphone that can really suprise you with its usefulness. I have used it on Electric guitars, acoustic guitars, as drum overheads (with many different stereo techniques), on vocals, on piano, on flute, on nyckelharpa, on violin and on french horn and so on. On all of the aforementioned audio sources it has sounded fantastic so it really is a good microphone and no one trick pony.

It is a very clean sounding microphone but I still find that it has quite a special character and feeling to it, which I find enjoyable.

I can't complain about the build quality either!

Excellent Microphone

I use this as a Boom microphone which was recommended to me by a BBC sound recordist as a brilliant, low cost, interior boom microphone. The sound is rich and dynamic with superb and crisp highs to bass with impact. It does have quite a bit of handling noise but nothing a good mount will subdue - i use a rycote inv 7. Brilliant device which will has already had much use and planned use in the future for many applications!
