AKG C1000s Condenser Microphone

The AKG C1000s is one of the most versatile condenser microphones available, equally at home on stage and in the studio. A true workhorse, it handles vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, and ensemble recording with clarity and precision.

Switchable Polar Pattern

Change between cardioid and hypercardioid patterns using the supplied adapter, giving you tighter rejection of off-axis sound when you need it — ideal for controlling spill in live environments.

Presence Boost Adapter

A built-in presence boost adapter lifts the higher frequencies for extra clarity and cut, perfect for vocals and spoken word that need to sit forward in the mix.

Phantom or Battery Powered

Run it from standard 48V phantom power, or drop in a battery for locations where phantom power isn’t available — a genuine advantage for field recording and portable setups.
