AKG C1000S Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Product Description

The versatile C 1000 S is ideally suited for all kinds of recording and live sound applications.

If no phantom power is available, the C1000S can be powered by a standard 9V 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 provided PPC 1000 Polar Pattern Converter 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.
