Used, but could pass for new.
This is a gently used AKG c3000....not c3000b. This is the origional 3000 that AKG doesnt make any more. The new c3000 is not the same. Very smooth sounding condenser, especially on shrill or male vocals. It was in my Studio for 11 months and I was able to get great results. I used it on the odd vocal track where smooth high end was needed and also as an overhead on drums (worked great as an overhead)
Comes with AKG pouch and holder....this mic doesnt require a shock mount as you can tell by its design, the diaphram is shock mounted internally.
There
are switches on the back to change the polar pattern, a switch for bass
roll-off and a -10db attenuation
switch.
The AKG C3000 is one of
AKG's large diaphragm condenser mics. When you can still find
it, it streets for $300 or less. This mic is no longer produced by AKG,
but is widely available at affordable prices used. It was replaced in
AKG's product line by the C3000B (notes on the differences between the
two will come later. The C3000 is a large diaphragm condenser with a
switchable pickup pattern, behind the main large diaphragm capsule is a
small-diaphragm capsule, the output of which is combined with the main
capsule to produce either a cardioid or hypercardioid response. It also
has a low cut (6-dB/octave slope below 500 Hz) and a standard-ish 10 db
pad.
