The AKG CK31 is a surprisingly capable capsule, especially considering the price. It’s built for permanent installations – think conference rooms, public address systems, or discreet background mics – where clarity and reliability are key. It’s a great value if you already have a compatible AKG body.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's clean and articulate, but don't expect the warmth or detail of a high-end studio condenser; it's designed for intelligible speech and general audio capture.
It’s a modular capsule, so it’s specifically designed to work with AKG’s GN/HM-1000 series bodies; it won't plug into standard XLR connectors.
It holds its own well; the build quality is a step above many cheaper options, and the transient response is noticeably better, making it a solid choice for the price.
