AKG C 3000 B Condenser Microphone

This microphone requires phantom power between 9V and 52V. You will need an audio interface or a mixing console that provides 48V phantom power to use it.

Yes, the C 3000 B features a high maximum SPL of 150 dB, which allows it to handle loud sound sources like drums or guitar cabinets without distorting.

The bass cut-off switch helps reduce low-frequency rumble, such as floor vibrations or traffic noise. It is particularly useful when recording vocals or acoustic instruments to keep the low end clean and prevent muddiness.

The cardioid pattern is designed to focus on sound directly in front of the microphone while rejecting sound from the sides and rear. This makes it an excellent choice for home studios where you need to isolate your voice or instrument from ambient room noise.

No, the C 3000 B comes with an included elastic suspension mount. Additionally, it features an internal shock mount for the capsule itself to further minimize handling noise.

The transformerless design helps the microphone deliver a more transparent and accurate sound. By removing the transformer, the signal path is cleaner, resulting in less coloration and better high-frequency detail.
