Great sounds for on stage and in-the-studio. The AKG C300 Large-Diaphragm Condenser is a versatile microphone that is perfectly-suited to a wide range of sound sources. A cardioid capsule with a 1 diaphragm and advanced backplate technology captures your sound with exceptional clarity and detail whilst a switchable attenuation pad and low-cut filter allow you to capture high SPL sources (up to 150dB) as well as compensate for the proximity effect. The C3000 also boasts an incredibly-rugged design. The heavy-duty all-metal body provides excellent rejection of RF interference whilst simultaneously protecting the hand-selected internal components. The transducer features gold-sputtering on one side only preventing local shorts to the back electrode. With this intelligent design the C3000 ensures reliable operation for years to come.
