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
Cardioid pattern can be quickly switched to hypercardioid
Rugged construction stands up to demanding environments

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!

Customer Reviews

I think they're less expensive now than they were 15 years ago.
by Andy from Aspen, Colorado, June 08, 2009
Music Background: Professional Guitarist

“Years ago, I saw Alison Krauss & Union Station live and noticed Alison was using the C1000S to mic her violin. At the time, I was paying the bills as a solo acoustic guitarist and $300 was a ton of money to me but since it was good enough for Alison - and her fiddle sounded so full and rich that night, I took the plunge.

I used this mic for most of the '90's in combo with an old...” Read More
