Hidden Gem among the Toads

This makes for a great Run-N'-Gun mic without having to worry about being so exact in aiming the camera. I have used this mic for recording an entire table of actors in the studio. Used it for talking head shot. Most importantly, it works great as an off-camera mic. Naturally it is limited to the natural timbre distance of all voices - 18"-24". But it is just so easy to use. Takes the place of dedicated Shotgun, Studio, Overhead mics for me. Within reason. your mileage may vary.

The updated version of the AKG Acoustic C1000 S multipurpose small-diaphragm condenser microphone is extremely popular for its versatility. It is suitable for recording and live-sound applications as well as for ENG/EFP and video productions. Its gold sputtered capsule housing makes the microphone extremely rugged against humidity.

If no phantom power is available, the C1000 S can be powered by two standard AA batteries for up to 120 hours. The new C1000 S features a bass-cut switch and a switchable -10 dB pad. The polar pattern can quickly be switched from cardioid to hyper-cardioid. Three different frequency settings are adding more clarity to speech and instrument sounds.

AKG C1000S Features

  • Gold sputtered microphone capsule and XLR pins give high immunity against humidity
  • Powered by internal AA batteries or by phantom power for use with any equipment and every application
  • Bass cut and -10 dB switchable for amazing versatility in every situation
  • Presence boost adapter provides three frequency settings for different sound sources
  • Unique polar pattern converter allows the microphone to be switched from cardioid to hyper-cardioid
