The AKG C 2000 B will give perfect results for demo recordings, in the rehearsal room, as well as in the best recording studios.
Common Applications
Brass
Percussions
Recording
Vocals
Features
Ideal multitrack recording "workhorse" thanks to very low self noise
Cardioid polar pattern for multiplicity of applications
Exceptionally smooth frequency response
One of the basic rules of recording is that the quality of the recorded signal is determined by the weakest link in the signal chain. Today, any microphone needs to match the high quality of 24-bit recording media.
Therefore, one of the most important requirements for the C 2000 B was high sensitivity. This allows you to lay clean, noise-free tracks with no risk of noise levels from many individual tracks combining in the mix. Its high SPL capability makes the C 2000 B a highly versatile microphone that can be used even for extremely loud instruments.
