All user reviews of 4/5 for the AKG C 1000 S (without LED)

The C1000 is a cardioid microphone / hypercardio it nessecite a phantom power supply but can function without (apparently).

OVERALL OPINION

I used a couple for quite some time now (about 5 years), honest I've seen better, the background noise is sufficiently large, trs sensitive to wind and small parasites and it is not too value instruments, I test on a classical orchestra is not gnial, the noise quickly became teachers and a sound "cold", a group of the Chamber Music quasiement is useless, but hey, we did not every day. on the other hand of a big band jazz and overhead drum has the rings, in fact it is a good microphones as there is a good acoustic pressure on scne is handy too, but there more.
They are not mine, I work with, but the use I prfre of C535 of the same manufacturer, which are much more versatile my taste. I do not recommend purchasing this microphone to catch his acoustic in difficult conditions, even a TRS coupled pramp good on the other hand to catches brass or percussion is good practice. To purchase a résumé microphones should wait to be able to pay more but if it's in a hurry or the budjet and Reduces's a good micro when making the same trs good services.

Capsule: back-electret type.

Directivity: cardioid, can pass hypercardiode by adding an adapter.
[possibility also to add an adapter to shine]
Caution forms of rponse cardiod hypercardiodes and this microphone is not idalie: few rjection rear globally.

Power: 48V phantom or 9V battery.

Body of the microphone: original look, plutt basically ncessite particulire pliers.
Switch on / off (for prserver battery)

In other words, because of its versatile micro CHARACTERISTICS

Possible uses: choir or solo singing, voice speaks, recovery tools (all), taking environments or proximity.

Aging: with age and many use, this microphone may lose some precision, and have a lightweight sail, a lightweight supplmentaire blur.

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first micro t staff, there are about ten years. I've seen a lot or used in various configurations.

It's really versatile, has great qualities, which are also its default.
It is not "neutral" but plutt soft, it's acoustic CHARACTERISTICS what! Can be found that he has no deep bass trs, he did not crystalline highs, it has soft mdiums. In other words it is discreet. It can be used in all configurations (voice, intruders, singing, etc.), it will always discrtement but effectively.

For voice and singing:
It has the advantage of not suffering too much from the effect of proximity.
Its velvety with good all the votes to pass without difficulty voice work or not. on the other hand, there is lectret rjection latrale and low, so relatively sensitive to feedback ds that would really push the higher the level of returns.
By consquent, for voice, it is more suited to first registration. Or the live, the second voice (the choruses), or solo if you can go back.

For chorus (chorus - making room):
It has the advantage of not capture the many serious distance. It does not loop too serious but in plutt in the high mids. He excelled in choir back in the open air (bluffing), because quite Fidler, full of PCHE and not running too.
For choral recording room, we prfrera cardio version without an adapter of brilliance, but not the microphone is best suited for this type of recording.

In continuance of instruments:
Really going anywhere, but watch his velvety always hiding a lack of precision (this is not a its box, plutt soft). Forcment therefore not recommended for registration unless it is necessary to add a little sweetness source (impec on some folk). If the instrument is not solo, it goes well and live recording. In overhead, lack of transitional too untoward. In snare, a little Soft. For piano, complter with something else to take to the grave. Flte for singing but lack of grain. For everything else, good Swiss Army knife to keep a backup.

It really is INTERESTED, even if it's not a star. Trs good memories on some votes. I think this microphone is not used prs as is (it is not Galise TRS) for cases where it is selected (above) or useful (too aggressive guitar, vocals too mocks, etc). It is not too difficult to place.

Trs quality good value for money.

One should always have one in his pocket!

Electrostatic condenser microphone, outside the built-in battery powered, phantom power is required for its operation, tensions will be accepted from 9 to 52 volts. The body unscrews almost in the middle to provide access to the 9 volt battery and the capsule. It is a big shame that the polarities have not been clearly identified. In a rush, we may charge the battery upside down...
The compact casing is very rigid metal, it features, built-in switch commissioning of food.

OVERALL OPINION

The fineness of the transmission is largely ahead of the intrinsic qualities of a voice. Grain and precision are the adjectives that come to mind in operation. More sensitivity is very good, there is no lack of gain, particularly high level allows significant differences in dynamics.
Apart from voice, many other sources fit the profile of this sensor, brass, strings, small percussion. Making a piano sound can enjoy the clarity achieved by the microphone, provided that they do not work near the ropes.
It's a good mic too difficult to use live, plus it is very robust ..
