The AKG C3000 is a popular recording mic with a detailed open sound suitable for a variety of recording applications. Capable of up to 150dB sound pressure levels.


Since its introduction in 1993 the C 3000 has become a standard for a wide range of both studio and onstage applications. The new redesigned C 3000 is a cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing product update which maintains the popular characteristics of the C 3000, however a new sleek and classy finish showcases AKG’s new Corporate Design. It is a great selection for both recording and live sound applications, where maximum sound quality and robustness are a must, and the competitive price makes the C 3000 a must-have.

The new C 3000 features a cardioid pickup pattern, a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, low noise electronics, high SPL capability and an internal shock mount, which drastically reduces handling noise from mic stands or cables. The switchable 10dB preattenuation pad increases the SPL capability by 10 dB and accommodates loud instruments like brass instruments or guitar amplifiers with ease. The switchable first-order 500Hz low frequency filter eliminates the proximity effect for close-miking.

The standard accessories are a metal carrying case and a spider-type shock mount.

Proven for more than 15 years and affordably priced, the C 3000 is an excellent choice for every high quality recording or demanding live sound application.

Nice but...
  -  Adlen

The C3000 can work well on some things, but I wouldn't call it an alternative to the 414. I tend to leave these to the side and go for 414s or Rode NT55s on most things. They're fairly uninteresting and, in comparison to a lot of cheaper microphones I've used, have fairly low sensitive and fairly high self noise. They don't have any real character but they can do well on honky, nasal voices to tame the nasal sound.
