The sound is pure AKG, but the price is far below what you'd expect for a premium large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone...
The earlier model C 3000 has had a large fan club in the project studio and home recording worlds for years. For the new C 3000 B, AKG designed a special 1-inch large-diaphragm transducer that closely approximates the vibration performance of top-class studio microphones, but can be made at much lower cost.
Thanks to innovative design and cost-efficient manufacturing, budget-conscious performers and home/project studio owners now can enjoy the unmistakable sound of a premium AKG studio condenser at a remarkably low cost. Combining both large-diaphragm and microelectronic technologies, the C3000B¹s revolutionary new capsule design which incorporates a gold-coated diaphragm captures the distinctive character of the world's most popular studio microphones. The C3000B sound is smooth, clear and open, with a vibrant presence that projects to the front of a mix.
Two switches select options for bass roll-off and preattenuation, allowing users to custom tailor the C3000B for virtually any stage or studio assignment. An internal InterSpider suspension supports the external shock mount H 100, an integrated windscreen accommodates outdoor use, and a safety flange provides secure connections in hanging applications. Rugged construction, die-cast eurostyled casing, and scratch-resistant matte finish make the C3000B well suited to the rigors of touring.
