The AKG C3000 large diaphragm cardioid condenser mic hits the mark in both high performance and affordability. A switchable low-cut filter will take out the boomy lows plaguing your recordings due to proximity effect and its attenuation pad helps to allow for SPLs up to 150dB. With a built-in, internal windscreen and a heavy-duty die-cast enclosure, the C3000 is a sturdy, classic option for multiple mic applications, like vocals, guitar, and drum overhead.
