Super cardioid transducer capsule for use with the KM100

Neumann AK active capsules are part of the variable miniature microphone system. Together with the KM 100 (or the KM 100 F) output stage the AK active capsules form a complete microphone. AK 50 and KM 100, for example, make up the KM 150.

AK 50 is a super-cardiod pressure gradient transducer with a hypercardioid characteristic. Attenuation of sound incidence from the side or rear is approximately 10 dB. Minimum sensitivity occurs at an angle of about 120°.
