Akg C 1000 S Condenser Microphone

This article will look at the AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone.

The AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone is probably the best selling condenser microphones around.

It is packed with value and features and it is a great price. The C 1000 is an excellent sounding microphone for vocal applications. It is made in Vienna, Austria and possesses a unique feature for the reason that if the user does not have available phantom power on their mixing console, the microphone opens with the grille end and contains an area inside to place a 9 V battery for powering the condenser element.

Another nice feature of this microphone is you can change the polar pattern in the mic from its standard cardioid grab pattern to a hyper-cardioid pattern using the addition from the PPC 1000 that is a polar pattern converter which, when put on the capsule beneath, changes the pick up pattern from cardioid to hyper-cardioid. The value of the is that a hyper-cardioid pattern, enables you to stay back away the microphone when you're singing it also reduces the pattern to a smaller size therefore eliminates any probability of feedback if monitors exist on the stage in a Jacksonville Landing Live Performance sound reinforcement application. The polar pattern converter comes shipped with the mic.

Also using the microphone, AKG comes with a presence booster so if your user wants to have an additional boost of presence inside 5 - 9 kHz range, whether it be needed with a vocal or a stringed instrument for the little bit more harmonic accent, this little device will add more presence towards the higher frequency range.

The AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone is also supplied with a wind shield for outdoor vocal use plus a mic clip and in addition comes with a robust, sturdy case for transit.

As mentioned, it's one of AKG's most popular microphones for obvious reasons. Lots of features, an incredibly reasonable price, and that great AKG sound that each sound professional knows and loves because of its warmth. The C 414 XLS also offers a recessed on/off switch to enable you to not turn it off by mistake which would certainly be a bad thing to do as it really is a condenser. It is, for any condenser, really quite solid in its construction as I have battered mine around a good bit and they have not abandoned me yet over a few years. I do advise that you be a little more careful with yours though.
