AKG C1000 S – Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

AKG C1000 S Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone The C1000 S from AKG 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 switchable low-cut filter at 80 Hz helps reduce rumble or wind noise, and a switchable 10 dB pad enables distortion-free recording of very loud sound sources associated with proximity miking. If no phantom power is 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-sputtered microphone capsule housing and gold-plated XLR pins, this microphone is well suited for mobile applications such as broadcast and interviews, even in high-humidity environments. The C1000 S comes with a stand adapter, a foam windscreen and a microphone bag.   Key Features Cardioid & Hypercardioid Polar Pattern Pre-Polarized Design Gold-Sputtered Capsule Housing Switchable 10 dB Pad Switchable Low-Cut Filter at 80 Hz Three Frequency-Response Settings Powered by Phantom or Two AA Batteries 120-Hour Battery Life Humidity-Protected.   Specifications Microphone Type Small Diaphragm Polar Pattern Cardioid / Hypercardioid Element Type Condenser Controls Polar Pattern, Pad, Low Cut/HPF Frequency Response 50 Hz to 20 kHz Maximum SPL 137 dB Analog Output 1x XLR 3-Pin Power Sources Phantom Power Microphone Microphone Type Small Diaphragm Polar Pattern Cardioid / Hypercardioid Element Type Condenser Sound Field Mono Orientation End Address Controls Polar Pattern, Pad, Low Cut/HPF Pad -10 dB Filter & EQ Low-Cut Filter: 80 Hz Circuitry Solid-State Performance Frequency Response 50 Hz to 20 kHz Maximum SPL 137 dB Sensitivity 6 mV/Pa Equivalent Noise Level 21 dB (A-Weighted) Connectivity Analog Output 1x XLR 3-Pin Power Power Sources Phantom Power Operating Voltage 9 to 52 V Physical Color Gray Mounting Thread Size 5/8″-27 Female Dimensions ø: 1.32 x L: 9.02″ / ø: 33.5 x L: 229 mm Weight 11.29 oz / 320 g
