About this product

Product Information

The AKG C3000 B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone is a versatile mic with a 1-inch capsule and an active, gold-sputtered, Mylar foil, large-diaphragm. The diaphragm size contributes to accurate sound response, warmth, and transparent capture of vocals and instruments. The C3000 design features a very low self-noise floor of 14 dB-A. The AKG C3000B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone also has a maximum level capture threshold of 126 dB. This makes the mic suitable for recording studio vocals, drums, acoustic guitar, or live music. The AKG C3000 B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone has a bass cut-off switch, which produces a 6 dB per octave roll off below 500 Hz. The capsule assembly is mounted internally with a shock-absorbing system. The C3000B Condenser Microphone also has an internal foam sleeve that is precisely designed to minimize breath sound, pops, and background noise, while not interrupting high-frequency sounds. The cardioid pattern is specifically designed to reject off-axis sounds of all frequencies. The AKG C3000 B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone includes an AKG H-100 elastic suspension mounting cradle that can be used with any mic stand. The B18 battery supply and W414 windscreen are both additional accessories. The AKG C3000 B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone is transformerless and operates on phantom power from 9 volts to 52 volts. The AKG C3000 B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone’s frequency response is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The mic’s sensitivity at 1 kHz is 25 mV/Pa (-32 dBV). The polar pattern is cardioid with 10 dB of pre-attenuation. Impedance on the AKG C3000B is 200 ohms with a recommended loading of greater than 1000 ohms. The A-rated equivalent noise level is 14 dB, and the signal-to-noise ratio is 80 dB-A. Sound pressure levels for 0.5 percent THD is 140 dB or 150 dB with -10 dB of pre-attenuation. The AKG C3000 B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone will operate at temperatures between 14 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The output connector is a 3-pin XLR-M port on the bottom of the gear. The mic is 6.29 inches in length and 2.217 inches in diameter. The AKG C3000 B Cable Professional Condenser Microphone has a large diaphragm for studio-quality recording. It can be used to record guitar, bass guitar, output from electric guitar amps, and vocals. This microphone is equally at home in the studio or on a stage. It has a polar cardioid pattern that reduces background noise reception and it includes an internal shock-absorbing mechanism for the capsule to add to the stability of sound capture.

  • good all purpose mics

    picks up drums & room well, seems to have a nice thick sound, definitely worth what i payed for a used pair, would recommend these mics to anyone as all purpose studio work horse, also can be used in live settings, does a fine job, seems to have lots of headroom

  • Better for instrument than voice

    Good voice over mic but a better instrument mic. I used to have the original C3000 (green stripe) which I like better because of the switchable polar pattern. This doesn't have that but it has a -10db pad switch and a bass roll off switch.

  • very detailed with a robust sounding curve on male vocals

    this mic is awesome, on acoustic guitar it has a warm full bodied quality that only adds to the richness of tones of a high end American dreadnought, on male vocals, it excels with clarity and purpose, giving harsher sounding voices a sweet warm roundness, that competes with much more expensive German made mics, the build quality is like a tank, and with a db pad and low freq roll off, it provides features to further tweak and dial in the best sounding signal before hitting your pre-amp or interface.
