The AKG C3000 is a robust large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Due to its affordable price, it is especially popular in home and project studios.
The microphone is versatile for voice, electric and acoustic guitar, brass instruments and as an overhead microphone on drums. The AKG C3000 also handles very loud sound sources without distortion because the sensitivity can be reduced by 10 dB. The low-noise capsule also brings out the best in quiet signals. A slight presence boost ensures good presence and definition in the mix.
The cardioid characteristic cuts out ambient sound from the side and rear. Crosstalk from other signals is reduced. A switchable high-pass filter reduces the proximity effect (overemphasis of the bass range). This can also be used to remove low-frequency noise.
The special suspension of the gold-plated diaphragm effectively prevents the transmission of mechanical vibrations such as impact noise or grip noise.
