AKG Acoustics C 4000 B
Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
AKG’s C4000B is a large-diaphragm multipattern FET condenser with an electret capsule.
The capsule has two 1-inch (25mm) diaphragms, in a shockmounted capsule assembly.
A switch on the microphone body allows selection of Cardioid, Hypercardioid, or Omni pickup patterns.
The microphone’s self-noise rating is very low, 8dBA.
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 C4000B ships with an elastic shockmout (AKG p/n H 85), a flight case, and a foam windscreen.
