Highlights


The nearly indestructible condenser has a sturdy metal chassis and specialized mic clip to keep the units securely attached to stands. The C1000 S's gold capsule and XLR plugs make it humidity-proof for all environments.


Rather than relying on an expensive 9V block battery, the C1000 S now runs on two AA batteries at 120h and offers two gain settings, three frequency settings and two polar patterns: cardioid and hypercardioid.


For mobile broadcast use and interview situations, our new C1000 S offers more versatility than ever before.
