The earlier model C 3000 has had a large fan
club in the project studio and home recording worlds for years. For the
new C 3000 B, AKG designed a special 1-inch large-diaphragm transducer
that closely approximates the vibration performance of top-class studio
microphones, but can be made at much lower cost. Due to its surface
area and special capsule tuning, the C 3000 B large-diaphragm
transducer produces an exceptionally pleasing, smooth sound. Unlike in
the C 3000, the switchable 10-dB preattenuation pad immediately follows
the transducer in the signal path, thus increasing the C 3000 B's SPL
capability by a true 10 dB. Loud sound sources are therefore no
problem. An acoustically optimized cardioid polar pattern makes the C
3000 B an excellent choice for both recording and live sound
applications where high gain before feedback is paramount.
