User manual AKG C 2000 B

[. . . ] This condenser microphone has been designed on the basis of experience AKG and its customers have gained worldwide over the last decades using models such as the C 414 B. The C 2000 B uses advanced, reliable components to meet the highest professional demands and withstand even long-time, tough handling in the studio and on stage. [. . . ] The all-metal die-cast body shields the microphone very effectively against RF interference when using it near radio transmitters or together with wireless microphones or other communication systems and protects the microphone from the hardships of live use. A safety flange on the connector shaft prevents the microphone from falling out of the spider suspension or stand adapter even when mounted upside down. With its high SPL capability, minimum distortion, and resistance to extreme temperatures and high humidity, the C 2000B is a truly universal microphone. Although the microphone capsule is shock mounted internally, you can use the supplied H 100 "spider" suspension to reduce vibrational noise from the stand or other sources even further. Remember to insert the cable into one of the two grooves at the rear end of the outer ring for strain relief. This removes mechanical pull from the connector and reduces vibrational noise that may be transmitted to the microphone by the cable. Its capsule design and pickup pattern make the C 2000 B a perfect choice for many applications both in the studio and on stage. Although the list below is far from complete, it is a good starting point for making excellent recordings. Please note that each instrument has its own distinct projection pattern and the quality of the recorded sound ultimately depends on how you place the microphone. You will therefore need to experiment to find the optimum microphone placement for each instrument.
