The AKG C1000 S is a small diaphragm condenser microphone with a cardioid pattern designed for recording, live sound, ENG, and video production applications with vocals and instruments . Using the included polar pattern converter accessory, the microphone can be switched from cardioid to hypercardioid to reduce feedback when used on stage. The presence boost adapter offers three discrete frequency settings to add clarity to speech and instrument sounds.
A selectable low-cut filter at 80 Hz helps reduce noise or wind noise, and a selectable 10 dB pad allows distortion-free recording of very loud sound sources associated with the proximity microphone. If phantom power is not available, the C1000 S can be powered by two standard AA batteries for up to 120 hours.
Featuring a pre-polarized design encased in a sturdy metal chassis, a gold-plated microphone capsule, and gold-plated XLR pins, this microphone is suitable for mobile applications such as broadcasts and interviews, even in high humidity environments.
The C1000 S comes with a stand adapter, a foam windshield, and a microphone bag.
