From Our Research Team:The Universal Cardioid Condenser!Need a versatile world-standard cardioid condenser microphone that can fit your limited budget? Sweetwater has your solution! The AKG C 1000 S delivers that famous AKG condenser sound and a new and improved satin-silver color body in a flexible, affordable package.AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone at a Glance:
Great for mobile recording or live sound with phantom or battery power The versatility of the C 1000 S makes this an extremely popular model, and one ideally suited for all kinds of recording and live sound applications. If no phantom power is available, the mic can be powered by a standard 9-volt 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 C 1000 S remaining battery life falls below 45 minutes. You'll never be caught with a useless mic in situations where phantom power is not available! Cardioid pattern can be quickly switched to hypercardioid The C 1000 S polar pattern can quickly be switched from cardioid to hypercardioid simply by attaching the included PPC 1000 Polar Pattern Converter to the microphone capsule. Plus, The C 1000 S includes a PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter that adds 3 to 5dB of high-end enhancement between 5 and 9kHz, improving clarity of speech and adding definition to instrument sounds. Rugged construction stands up to demanding environments The C 1000 S can handle studio or stage stresses very well, thanks to its durable steel case. A built-in spider shock mount protects the capsule from jolts and reduces handling noise. The on/off switch is recessed to avoid embarrassing "mic off" moments. High output, high sensitivity, great sound - the AKG C 1000 S is a very desirable mic! AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone Features:

I own two of these mics (plus the AKG Perception 200). The first one began to get noisy (an old model I got second hand).

I had two of these before and they were stolen. I now have another and it is my "go to" mic for stringed instruments. Always reliable and and always in the kit no matter what the gig is.

June 8, 2009 Music Background: Professional Guitarist I used this mic for most of the '90's in combo with an old Rane AP preamp to mic my old Taylor guitar at the more quiet, intimate venues. IMHO, this mic has the freq response of a nice dynamic with the sensitivity of a quality condenser. There's just not enough going on in the higher frequencies - above 10K - for me, to make it a great recording mic but for guitar tracks that are going to sit in the mix or live applications, it's absolutely perfect. Since this mic is now about 15 years old, has seen lots of road miles and still performs flawlessly, I think "bulletproof" is an apt description of it's build quality. There are lots of mic's that you can pick up in this price range but I can't think of any that would be quite as versatile - I have used it for acoustic instruments, voice, guitar cabs and hand drums with great results. I don't use this mic as much these days as I have a shelf full of Neumann's and a couple of 414's but, occasionally, I'll pull it out and point it at something and dial it in - it makes me feel good to hook up with an old friend and, like always, it never disappoints. close [-] a must-have for rock&roll.
