For lifelike studio recordings you'll often get great results reaching for a small-diaphragm microphone like the C 1000 S. The low-mass diaphragm gives you fast transient response, important for capturing the initial attack of an instrument that creates a sense of depth and liveliness. For extra versatility, the C 1000 S sports a switchable presence boost - leave it off for the most natural sound, or turn it on to add focus and edge that highlights a certain instrument.

You'll love the professional sound you get from the C 3000. The cardioid pickup pattern is perfect for vocals and instruments, and you can even use the AKG C 3000 on high-SPL instruments like guitar amps and drums. And for added recording security, an internal windscreen protects your recordings against annoying wind noise and vocal pops.

While each of the mics in AKG's Project Pack are solid on their own, they're great as a pair too! Use the C 1000 S on a singer/songwriter's guitar, while recording vocals with the C 3000. Or use the C 3000 on an electric guitar amp, while miking the electric's strings with the C 1000 S to add extra jangle and brightness to the mix. Hey, there are a lot of creative microphone combinations out there, and you can explore a lot of them with the AKG Project Pack!
