Description

The AKG C3000 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone for studio recording and live sound. It is a good choice for vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, drum overheads and brass. A switchable attenuation pad and low-cut filter let it handle up to 150 dB SPL and control proximity effect.

The gold-sputtered one-inch capsule sits in a heavy-duty die-cast metal housing, and low-noise electronics give high headroom. The H85 shock mount is included.
