I am a hobbyist and have been recording with an AKG c1000 mic for a 5 or 6 years and feel like its time to try something new. I was breifly looking at a RODE NT1A which is around 250$, but am just beginning my search. Any suggestions?
It will mostly be for acoustic guitar (occasionally used for vocals).

I found some Black Akg c1000s. Are these a older model. if so whats the difference from the new ones?

Hello,

I have a pair of AKG C1000s with which one of them has a hum. I've tried different cables and different inputs, but the hum is still there.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi all,

Has anyone tried the AKG c1000's, will they work for drum overheads? what other uses do these mics have? are they good?

Hey All,

I recently got a good deal on purchasing a factory matched pair of AKG C1000 mics. I'd love to get everyone's opinion on the pro's AND con's of this mic, BEFORE I open the box. I read that they can sound good as drum overheads OR acoustic guitars, stringed instruments. What do you think?
