AKG C1000 S Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Characterized by versatility and durability, the updated version of the C1000 S from AKG is a multipurpose, high-performance small-diaphragm condenser microphone. This mic is perfect for both recording and live-sound applications, as well as ENG/EFP and audio capture for video productions.

The C1000 S has the power to use with any equipment and in every scenario. If no phantom power is available, this mic can run on two standard AA batteries that power it internally, allowing for continual, confident operation for up to 120 hours.

This microphone boasts a quality build that makes it a more rugged condenser mic. Its gold-sputtered capsule housing and XLR pins lend high immunity against one of the main villains of condenser microphone maintenance: humidity.

Designed to deliver in myriad situations, the C1000 S is feature-packed so you can achieve customizable, confident sound quality. A bass-cut switch and a switchable -10 dB pad for amazing versatility in every situation. Three different frequency settings allow you to achieve enhanced clarity when capturing speech and instrument audio. The polar pattern can quickly be switched from cardioid to hyper-cardioid, allowing you to aim the mic with precision to capture exactly the audio you want—and none of the surrounding noise you don’t.
