Universal microphone AKG C3000

AKG C3000 is a versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone that has been a standard for live performances and studio recording for nearly two decades. It is ideal for vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, drum overheads, and brass instruments. The built-in attenuation switch and low-cut filter allow handling of high sound pressure levels up to 150 dB and eliminate proximity effect.

The microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, wide frequency response from 20 to 20000 Hz, low equivalent noise level of 14 dB-A, and a high signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 80 dB-A. It is equipped with a balanced XLR output and operates on phantom power from 9 to 52 V with 2 mA current consumption. The body has a sleek black finish and weighs 320 grams.

The package includes a universal shock mount H85, providing easy mounting and vibration reduction.
