AKG C2000B Small-diaphragm Condenser Mic

The C2000 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone for vocals, brass and percussion in the studio. Designed with AKG expertise and valuable customer input from all over the world, the C2000 contains the essence of six decades of microphone engineering.

Thanks to the patented capsule design, the C2000 impresses with a good transient response and a smooth low end. Moreover, its low-noise electronics ensure low distortion and a high dynamic range. A must-have for every project studio.
