Paging Microphone for Speech
The AKG DST99 S is a wired dynamic paging microphone built for general public address and communication tasks. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the speaker while rejecting off-axis sound, and the frequency response is tailored for speech intelligibility. The all-metal body withstands daily use in demanding environments. A table stand with an on/off switch and a coiled cable with a three-pin XLR connector complete the package.
Dynamic Capsule Needs No Power
The microphone uses a dynamic capsule that operates without external phantom power or batteries. This simplifies installation because no mixer power setting or separate supply is required. The capsule design also contributes to high gain before feedback and strong suppression of unwanted ambient noise. The three-pin XLR output connects directly to standard audio inputs.
Suits Fixed Speech Applications
This model suits users who need a reliable, self-contained paging microphone for desks, podiums or dispatch consoles. It is not intended for handheld performance, studio recording or applications requiring a flat, wide-range frequency response. Buyers who need wireless operation, a headset form factor or a condenser capsule with extended high-frequency detail should consider other microphone types.

Questions about this item
How does the cardioid polar pattern perform when the microphone is used on a desk for announcements?
The cardioid pattern focuses pickup in front of the microphone while rejecting sound from the sides and rear, giving clear speech capture and reducing feedback in a paging setup.
What does the three-pin XLR connection provide for this dynamic microphone?
The three-pin XLR delivers a balanced audio signal without needing external power, so the microphone connects directly to a mixer or PA input.
What space does the table stand need on a desk or podium?
The all-metal table stand sits on the surface with the coiled cable extending to the XLR connector, requiring only a small footprint for stable placement.
