There may be good sound...under that annoying hum

AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone Review

AKG C 1000 S Condenser Microphone

Dec 13, 2010

Reviewed by JD on Guitar Center

The $280 I spent on this mic is basically down the drain. I have two other condenser mics that are dead silent. My C 1000 S has an annoying low frequency hum, which makes it unusable for my purposes: recording intimate acoustic guitar. I called AKG, and they gave me the phone number of some service guy. I left a message explaining my problem and he never called back. Was thinking of buying a C 414, but given the poor customer service, I don't think I'll buy another AKG product.

Nice clear sound. Takes 2 AA batteries.
