AKG C3000B Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The sound is pure AKG, but the price is far below what you'd expect for a premium large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone. 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 C 3000B©'s revolutionary new capsule design - which incorporates a gold-coated diaphragm - captures the distinctive character of the world's most popular studio microphones. The C 3000 B 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 C 3000 B 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 C 3000 B well suited to the rigors of touring. The H 100 spider suspension is included.
