AKG C4000 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

No longer available at zZounds
Warm up thin vocals with the dark, mellow AKG C4000 large-diaphragm condenser. This three-pattern microphone delivers extremely low noise and high headroom.

The AKG C4000 is a high-performance multi-pattern large-diaphragm microphone with exceptionally high headroom and extremely low self-noise. It is among the condenser microphones with the widest dynamic range available today, and it will give equally excellent results in the studio and on stage.

Due to its warm and dark-sounding character, it is known in the pro-audio world as an insider's tip for thin vocals, bright brass instruments and acoustic guitars. Beyond that, it is designed for miking a broad range of instruments from electric guitar to kick drum.

Features:

- Genuine one-inch dual-diaphragm condenser transducer for a warm and dark-sounding character
- Selectable polar patterns (cardioid, hypercardioid and omni) for a wide range of applications due to dual-capsule design
- One of the quietest condenser microphones available today by the use of ultralow-noise electronic components
- Transformerless electronic design for high SPL capability and low distortion
- Switchable 10dB attenuation pad allows close-in miking at extremely high sound pressure levels
- Includes Metal Case, H85 Shock Mount and W4000 Windscreen
