AKG C1000 Condenser Microphone
AKG C1000S is a robust microphone powered via regular phantom power or integrated 9V battery. On/Off switch. Studio quality even when powered by a battery.
Excellent vocal microphone works perfect even from a greater distance, e.g. for picking up choirs and so on. Outstanding performance when used for instruments. Ideal for home recording applications. A special converter (PPC 1000) turns the microphone characteristics from cardioid into hypercardioid, if it is mounted on the mic top.
The new PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter provides an additional 5-dB high-frequency peak in the cardioid mode adding brilliance in the 5 to 9 kHz range.
The AKG C1000S can also be used for a variety of studio applications.

AKG C1000 Overview
If no phantom power is available, the C1000 microphone can be powered by a standard 9 V battery, making it perfect for mobile use. With its new battery monitoring electronics, the C 1000 S now features a reliable LED warning light. The red LED above the microphone switch lights up when the remaining battery life falls below 45 minutes. The polar pattern can quickly be switched from cardioid to hypercardioid simply by attaching the PPC 1000 Polar Pattern Converter provided to the microphone capsule. The PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter also supplied with the C 1000 S adds 3 to 5 dB of high-end enhancement between 5 and 9 kHz, improving clarity of speech and adding definition to instrument sounds.
