The AKG C1000S is the all-purpose microphone for recording vocals and instruments. It can be used flexibly in the studio, for reports, or live productions. The sound of the AKG C1000S is balanced. Voices and instruments are reproduced very naturally. Since microphones with a cardioid directional characteristic only pick up sound from the front, the AKG C1000S is insensitive to ambient noise. The microphone capsule of the AKG C1000S is also elastically mounted. Disturbing handling and cable noises are effectively suppressed. To record loud instruments such as drums and brass without distortion, the microphone level on the C1000S can be attenuated by 10 dB. The switchable bass roll-off effectively reduces unwanted noise in the bass range (e.g., wind) and counteracts the proximity effect. This occurs when the speaker's mouth is too close to the microphone. There are two adapters available for the AKG C1000S that can be attached to the microphone capsule. They change the sound and directional characteristics of the microphone. To improve speech intelligibility, there is a Presence Boost Adapter. It provides a frequency boost in the high range. This makes the voice more present. With the Polar Pattern Converter, the cardioid directional characteristic can be changed to a supercardioid. This makes the microphone less susceptible to sound coming from the sides and rear. Especially under noisy conditions with many background noises, this can improve the recording quality. The AKG C1000S is a condenser microphone and requires a power supply (phantom power) of 9 - 52 volts. It can be connected to the microphone input of the mixing console or to a phantom power supply device via the XLR connector. However, it can also be operated with two AA batteries. With them, the microphone runs for 120 hours. The practical on/off switch saves power and a control LED shows the battery status.
