The earlier model C 3000 has had a large fan club in the project studio and home recording worlds for years. For the new C 3000 B, AKG designed a special 1-inch large-diaphragm transducer that closely approximates the vibration performance of top-class studio microphones, but can be made at much lower cost.
Due to its surface area and special capsule tuning, the C 3000 B large-diaphragm transducer produces an exceptionally pleasing, smooth sound. Unlike in the C 3000, the switchable 10-dB preattenuation pad immediately follows the transducer in the signal path, thus increasing the C 3000 B\'s SPL capability by a true 10 dB. Loud sound sources are therefore no problem.
An acoustically optimized cardioid polar pattern makes the C 3000 B an excellent choice for both recording and live sound applications where high gain before feedback is paramount.

The CK-7 houses a 35mm gold-sputtered thin Mylar capsule. The CK-7 uses high grade Polystyrene and Metalized Polypropylene capacitors in the audio path. This represents a commitment to quality, as these normally are the type of "upgrade" components that are implemented by microphone modders/hot-rodders! Any studio can proudly offer the CK-7 as a vocal mic or utility condenser due to its versatility...It exudes class visually as well as sonically.
Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability. The versatile CK-7 mic is able to produce professional results with a clean sonic character. The included Custom Retro Shockmount is superb in allowing a precise positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic. This isolation allows for superior professional results. The 3 patterns allow the CK-7 to be used in a variety of situations.
The cardioid pattern is generally best used on vocals and single instruments. The omni mode works well in incorporating some room sound into the track. The figure 8 pattern allows 2 vocalists to use the mic at the same time from opposite sides. The CK-7 has separate -10 dB pad & 80 Hz LF roll off switches....The -10dB attenuation switch can be engaged when miking very high SPL sources to keep from overloading the electronics. The 80Hz high-pass filter switch can be engaged to reduce rumble and to keep unwanted low frequencies from "muddying up" the track.
Applications.
studio vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum overheads, piano, room mic

NT1000 - ?Pure Performance? Ultra Versatile 1? Studio Condenser Microphone.
With its ultra low 6 dBA self-noise and transformer less SMT circuitry, the
R?DE NT1000 exhibits exceptional performance when recording both vocals
and instruments in the studio.
Voiced for ?application versatility?, the NT1000 has been hailed by many as the
ultimate drum over-head and grand piano mic selection. The NT1000 is also
equally at home as a first call vocal mic. With its Australian made 1? HF-2 capsule
incorporating internal shock mounting, the NT1000 boasts a 134 dB dynamic range,
and 140 dBA SPL capabilities and a 20 Hz ? 20 kHz frequency response.
Built of a heavy-duty cast metal satin nickel body, the NT1000 incorporates a
high-strength, heat-treated mesh head, and comes supplied in a zip pouch with a
stand mount.
