The AKG C1000 S MKIV is an updated version of the hugely popular C1000, dubbed by many as the ‘Swiss Army knife’ of microphones, thanks to its use in the studio and on stage on a variety of instrument types.
The AKG C1000 S MKIV is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone, lauded for its versatility, thanks to its ability to capture a sound that’s both accurate and high in quality. The C1000 S’s gold-sputtered capsule housing offers a rugged and road-ready construction, while the fact that it can be powered by a pair of standard AA batteries for when Phantom power isn’t available means that it can be used absolutely anywhere.
This updated version of the C1000 features a Bass Cut switch as well as a switchable -10dB pad, and the polar pattern can be changed from cardioid to hyper-cardioid. The microphone comes with a Presence Boost adapter, which provides three different frequency settings for use on a variety of sound sources.
The main features of the AKG C1000 S MKIV include:
AKG C1000 SGot this as a vocal mic for stage use clipped into a stand. It's a similar quality sound to an SM58 I would say, perhaps a little clearer. The bass cut switch is an absolute necessity as the proximity effect is very noticeable. This mic replaces a Rode NT5 I have used for 10 years in the same application, but unfortunately is nothing like the sound quality. I will save up and buy another Rode next time.
I was looking for a decent recording microphone for a mini home studio. I'm not an expert but it's safe to say that I got more than I expected. Crystal clear sound, well built, and it came as described with all the accessories included. If you don't use it in a soundproof ambient it will pick up your neighbours chatting, your heart rate and bowel movement.
Jokes aside, delivery was on time. Communication with the seller was straight on point and quick. That being said I am a happy customer, most likely to return in the future.
