Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

AKG C3000 is newly redesigned to be a aesthetically pleasing product and and cost-effective which maintains the popular characteristics of the C 3000B. It is a great selection for both recording and live sound applications, where maximum sound quality and robustness are a must.

The AKG C 3000 features a cardioid pickup pattern, a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, low noise electronics, high SPL capability and an internal shock mount, which drastically reduces handling noise from mic stands or cables. The switchable 10dB preattenuation pad increases the SPL capability by 10 dB and accommodates loud instruments like brass instruments or guitar amplifiers with ease. The switchable first-order 500Hz low frequency filter eliminates the proximity effect for close-miking.
