The CK41 is a reference condenser capsule with a wide cardioid polar pattern and a speech optimized frequency response. The cardioid is the most popular polar pattern, since it can be used almost universally. The 125° pickup angle is especially suited for inexperienced or very vivacious speakers as well as applications where more than one person uses the microphone in turn. The CK41 capsule is integrated into an extremely slim and rugged metal housing. It fits any mounting module of the DAM+ Series. 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 CK41 comes complete with a highly efficient windscreen.
