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.

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.

A microphone that shines on acoustic guitars, it works even better on vocals. The switches aren't super convenient, but if you're using them on the fly, then you're not prepared anyway. An excellent value for its money, it's quite possibly the best in AKG's "middle-tier" of microphones, before you get into the upper echelon of C-414's and C-12's.

Hey you guys if your on a limited budget and want to get very good results spend the money. Definitly not a bad investment. I mainly use this mic for acoustic guitar and vocals. very nice detail, tends to makes ya smile!. I've tried more expensive mics and yet feel that for the money does quite the same job if not better. thanks akg
