Description

Description

Cardioid condenser microphone, 20MV/PA sensitivity, 20Hz-20kHz frequency response up to 150 dB SPL MAX, 10dB pre-attenuation, bass-cut filter. Suitable for studio, home recording, and live with 3-year warranty.

A reliable investment for any studio

The high-performance, large-diaphragm C3000 condenser microphone has been a standard for live applications and studio recordings for nearly two decades. It is an excellent choice for vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, drums overheads, and brass instrument miking. The switchable attenuation pad and low-cut filter allow for high SPL up to 150dB and eliminate the proximity effect.

The redesigned C3000 is presented as a cost-effective, robust work tool with a sleek and classy finish.

Includes carrying case and shock mount.

Πυκνωτικό (Μεγάλου Διαφράγματος)

Mode of Operation

Πυκνωτικό (Μεγάλου Διαφράγματος)
Warm and full sound with emphasis on vocals. Mainly used in studios for vocals and solo instruments.
Directivity
Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Directivity

Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Cardioid: Captures sound primarily from the front, reducing sounds from the sides and rear. Ideal for vocals, podcasting, and live recordings.
Frequency
20 - 20000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Impendance
200 ohm

Impendance

Indicates how "easily" the microphone transmits its signal to the equipment (mixer, sound card, amplifier). It is expressed in Ohms (Ω).

  • Low impedance (≤ 600 Ω): Stable signal, less noise, ideal for professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Medium impedance (600 – 1,000 Ω): Good balance, common in live and general use.
  • High impedance (> 1,000 Ω): More sensitive to loss and noise, usually found in older or specialized equipment.
Sensitivity
20 mV/Pa

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how strong the signal it produces is when recording a sound. It is measured in mV/Pa or dBV/Pa.

  • High sensitivity: The microphone can capture very low sounds, but it may be more sensitive to ambient noise.
  • Low sensitivity: It records louder sound sources without distortion, but requires more amplification from the preamp.

In general, condenser microphones have higher sensitivity than dynamic ones.

Max SPL
150 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.

    Unbelievable microphone, which I bought 20 years ago and still works perfectly today. Crystal clear sound for use in the church where I use it (volume, articulation of words). And very clean recordings with all the details of the voice (natural rasp, etc.) for use in mono-channel recording.. one of the most reliable from AKG

    119 E. Top value for money. You have to spend twice as much to find an equivalent microphone. Wide range that captures everything.
