General
AKG is a big name in the recording world and not without reason! AKG have been making high-quality, studio-grade microphones for many years. This particular microphone is no different.
When you unpack the microphone you can instantly recognise its professional character. The microphone comes with a high-quality shockmount (AKG H85) so that you can solidly fasten the microphone without handling noise being an issue during recordings.
The most important thing about any microphone is its sound of course. The AGK C3000 cardioid condenser studio microphone provides a very clean sound and therefore its recordings sound very natural. This makes it well suited for broadcasting. The microphone is very durable and on its side it has a switch which ensures that you can easily reduce the volume by 10 dB. The cardioid pickup pattern ensures that the microphone can be used for a variety of applications and this makes it a valuable addition to any studio.

Wrote the following about AKG C3000 cardioid condenser studio microphone
Someone I know called these a "Poor Mans C414's". They are missing a little on what the C414's offer but at less than a 1/10th the price, they give the user 90% of what the C414's give you. I use these as Overheads when recording drums and they give a really nice sound that captures everything I'm looking for. Actually, you get a lot of mic for your money here. I know a couple of people using these for vox as well. I'm also using this in the back of an amp with a 909 on the front and it is giving a much better sound than the SM57 I was using.
A pair of these is well worth a look for anyone who wants to expand thier collection of mics past the basics. They are workhorses, so there will be plenty of uses. With the exception of Kick and Bass Amp, you will get a decent sound on almost anything else.

De AKG C3000 is op de markt gezet voor gitaar- en basversterkers, instrumenten en leadvocals.
Ook live wordt de C3000 ingezet, meestal zie je ze bij percussie of drums.
Zelf heb ik ervaring met de oude C3000, en de nieuwe C3000B. Door de jaren heen is er qua klank niet heel veel veranderd aan de verschillende versies van de C3000. De oude C3000 had als voordeel dat je kon switchen tussen nier en supernier. Zelf gebruik ik de C3000 (live) voor gitaarversterkers, koren, percussie, piano en drum overheads.
Vooral als drum overheads zijn ze erg geschikt!
Ook percussie is erg mooi met een C3000. Koren klinken ook goed, maar je moet wel wat draaien. Uiteindelijk heb ik liever een kleinmembraan condensator op een koor.
Wat wel lastig aan de C3000 is dat het niet overduidelijk is wat de voorkant van de mic is.
Dat heb ik in het begin aan den lijve ondervonden. Verkeerd om voor de gitaarversterker (Waarom hoor ik zoveel drums?!)
Live doeleinden C3000:
- Drum overhead
- Percussie
- Piano
- Gitaarversterkers
- Koren
Studio:
Geen ervaringen met de C3000 in de studio, alhoewel hij vast goed werkt (acc. gitaar!)
Pluspunten:
+ Voor de prijs een uitstekende microfoon!
+ Klank bij drums/percussie erg goed
+ Goede shockmount!
+ Past ook in een SM58 klem!
+ Voelt stevig en solide aan
+ Lowcut en -10dB switches
Minpunten:
- Klank bij koren een beetje 'ver weg'
- "Wat is de voorkant?!"
Conclusie:
Mooie condensator voor live (en studio) voor een 'reasonable' prijs!
