The SM99 is a miniature gooseneck-mounted con­denser microphone (electret bias) designed primarily for mounting on a lectern, pulpit, or conference table. Its wide frequency response, supercardioid pickup pattern, and two-stage pop filter make it especially suitable for speech or vocal pickup. The SM99 can also be used to pick up various musical instruments. The microphone is available with three different gooseneck lengths to suit the widest variety of applications.
