AKG Acoustics C 4000 B

Description

  • One of the most silent condenser microphones available today
  • Up front sound in the mix
  • Selectable cardioid, hypercardioid, and omnidirectional polar patterns for every recording situation

The 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule provides selectable cardioid, omnidirectional, and hypercardioid polar patterns.

Designed for miking up vocals, brass, acoustic and electric guitar, and kick drum. High headroom and extremely low self noise put the C 4000 B among the condenser microphones with the widest dynamic range available today.

A switchable 10-dB preattenuation pad allows the C 4000 B to be used for close-in miking of instruments producing extremely high sound pressure levels such as guitar amps etc. A switchable bass cut filter eliminates low-frequency noise.

The AKG Acoustics C 4000 B is also known as: C4000B, C 4000 B.
