AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone 2-PackThe excellent AKG C 1000 S is a vocal microphone that works well even from a distance. The C 1000 S mic is ideal for recording choirs and other live groups. Outstanding performance when used for instruments, too. The AKG C 1000 S is an ideal mic for home recording applications. A special converter (PPC 1000) turns the microphone characteristics from cardioid to hypercardioid, if it is mounted on the mic top. The new PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter provides an additional 5dB high-frequency peak in the cardioid mode adding brilliance in the 5 to 9kHz range. Operates on either phantom power or standard 9V battery, and an LED has been added for low-battery warning. The C1000 S can also be used for a variety of studio applications.

These are the best mics for the price. The hypercardoid leaves much to be desired, but the cardoid is unbelievable. If you have an arsenal of eight C1000Ss, you could record anything medium to high quality. Makes guitars sound like gold, whether it's a cab or a sound hole. Gives snare drums a snap and cymbals a shimmer. The only thing I have problems mic-ing is piano. Like I said, the hypercardoid isn't that great, so of course the piano isn't a surprise. I don't know what I would do if they ever discontinued this model. It is the cornerstone of my recording setup.
These are great microphones. I predict that these microphones will last me for ever.
I have used these microphones to mic high hats and rides. The sound I get out of them is amazing. I really can't describe in words how good they sound. For the price, buy them!
I just bought a pair of these mics and used them to tape at High Sierra and I got great tapes. Value is great!I bought these mics and got them just in time to get to get to use them. I would put these up against many of the big money rigs. Very happy. See you on tour.
