Project
Studio Line
For the new C 3000 B, AKG designed a special 1-inch
large-diaphragm transducer that closely approximates
the vibration performance of top-class studio micro-
phones, but can be made at much lower cost.
Due to its surface area and special capsule tuning, the
C 3000 B large-diaphragm transducer produces an
exceptionally pleasing, smooth sound. Unlike in the
C 3000, the switchable 10-dB preattenuation pad imme-
diately follows the transducer in the signal path, thus
increasing the C 3000B’s SPL capability by a true 10 dB.
Loud sound sources are therefore no problem. An acousti-
cally optimized cardioid polar pattern makes the C 3000B
an excellent choice for both recording and live sound
applications where high gain before feedback is para-
mount.
