CardioidAKG Acoustics C 430

Cardioid Pencil Condenser Microphone

The C430 is a small FET condenser with a fixed cardioid pickup pattern. It is designed specifically for cymbal and drum-overhead miking.

Its relatively low sensitivity (7 mV/Pa) and extremely high self-noise (33 dBA) would appear to make the mic unsuitable for quiet acoustic sources.

The AKG Acoustics C 430 is also known as: C430, C 430.
