" A high quality, all round microphone that suits me."

Feature:
good shock mount.

Quality:
Good solid construction as I would expect from AKG. easy to use switches. Good matching between pairs of mics. It is very dependable. I don't need tothink about a back up. Could last longer than me.

Value:
It compares very favourably with other mics of its quality.

Desirability:
Has a good solid, professional look. It feels good to handle. It impresses clients by its looks and size.

Sound:
clean sound with a clear deep bass reproduction

Support:
Easy to reach. very friendly. gave me excellent advice in comparing this mic with others from their range and other manufacturers.

Overall:
I have no reason to change this for anything else. If it werelost I would replace it with the same. I have had some superb, vivid recordings ( modern jazz, choral and folk) with this and could probably only better this with much more expensive mics such as Neumanns.

"AKG C4000B: Professional quality for digital studio recording"

Feature:
Being able to change Filtering and sound tresholds are very useful when doing a versatile recording with Piano plus wind instruments (re-recording)

Quality:
Looks and Sounds very reliable, no cosmetical probs. either

Sound:
The C4000B sound is crisp, precise and still warm. I use a pair of AKG C4000B's with a Korg D1600 Digital Recording Studio for Jazz and Classical Piano and solo instruments recording Even compared to Solid Tube technology, the C4000B are excellent

Support:
Not applicable for the C4000B, but I had broken an older AKG mike that was very well handled by the company (that was quite an older piece of equipment)

Overall:
Those two C4000B will be kept a long time... till worn out ;-), and could be complemented with different models for specific instruments(e.g. drums. My choice was a quality/price based: the solid tube mikes were more expensive, while the perceived difference in quality was not big.
