Akg, C1000 Microphone

Product details

One Mic To Rule Them All!

Perhaps the most popular workhorse mic of all time; can be used on vocals, instruments, drums; in the studio, on the road; with phantom power or with a 9v battery. For every job, there's probably a better (much more expensive) candidate, but there simply isn't another mic around that comes close to the all round capabilities of the C1000 at anywhere near the price. Put simply it sounds good on almost everything.

If you can afford a cupboard full of mics for every application, please give me a call(!). Actually, you probably already own one, or two, of these anyway. If, like us mere mortals, you can only afford one mic, you'll find nothing better.

Of course I'd like a couple of U67'S, but I've got two of these. DJ.
