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.

The AVANTONE CK-6 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance can be compared directly to fine studio-standard FET mics…but at a fraction of their cost!

The rugged CK-6 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of Brass. Aesthetically the compact body features an elegant Metallic Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and capsule assembly. Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability.

This Transformerless CLASS A FET Microphone w/ 32mm gold sputtered thin Mylar capsule is designed with circuitry that will yield pleasing professional results comparable to much more expensive designs. It also features -10 dB pad  &  80 Hz LF roll off switches for varied recording situations.
 
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.
 
Applications

Studio vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum overheads, piano, etc…

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.
