Description
This condenser microphone has been designed on the basis of experience AKG
and its customers have gained worldwide over the last decades using models
such as the
C
414
B,
C
3000 and
C
1000
S. The
C
2000 uses advanced, reliable
components to meet the highest professional demands and withstand even
long-time, tough handling in the studio and on stage.
The
C
2000 provides the following
features
:
The
transducer capsule
has been acoustically designed with a
cardioid
polar
pattern to make the microphone suitable for use both in the recording studio
and on stage.
The
diaphragm
is made of a plastic foil that is gold-sputtered on one side to
prevent local shorts to the back electrode even at extremely high sound
pressure levels.
A
switchable preattenuation pad
allows you to increase the maximum SPL
capability of your
C
2000
by 10 dB
for distortion-free close-in recordings.
Many mixing console input stages use small transformers that are susceptible
to overload, particularly at low frequencies. The
C
2000’s pad prevents such
overload.
A
bass cut filter
that is
switchable
on the microphone body reduces low- end
distortion due to uncontrolled rumble or wind noise even further. Also, you can
eliminate the proximity effect (occurring at working distances of less than 4
inches) inherent in unidirectional microphones by switching the bass cut filter
in. The filter has a 6 dB/octave slope starting at 500 Hz.
The
all-metal die-cast body
shields the microphone very effectively against
RF interference when using it near radio transmitters or together with wireless
microphones or other communication systems and protects the microphone
from the hardships of live use.
The
built-in pop screen
is ideal for vocal use.
An
internal spider-type shock mount
for the transducer effectively
suppresses handling and cable noise.
