AKG C 1000 S Mode D'emploi page 15

The combination of a high quality backplate condenser trans-
ducer and capsule shock mount optimizes handling and cable
noise rejection. The microphone body consists of a massive
aluminum shaft and screw-on brass front tube with a rugged
stainless steel mesh cap. The microphone uses an internation-
ally standardized 3-pin male XLR output connector.
PPC 1000 Polar Pattern Converter
Slipping the PPC 1000 Polar Pattern converter on the capsule
will change the microphone's pickup pattern from cardioid to
hypercardioid. This makes the microphone even less sensitive
to sounds arriving from the sides and rear, resulting in higher
gain before feedback when you use monitor speakers on stage.
PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter
The supplied PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter boosts the sen-
sitivity of the microphone by approx. 5 dB between 5 kHz and
9 kHz for optimum intelligibility of speech.
ON/OFF switch
The microphone provides an on/off switch that helps prolong
battery life. The switch is recessed to prevent the microphone
being switched off unintentionally.
BATT CHECK LED
This LED indicates the current battery status:
- LED flashes momentarily upon switching ON and extin-
guishes: battery is OK.
- LED lights constantly: battery will be dead in about 60 minutes.
Note:
As long as you use the microphone with phantom power, the
BATT CHECK LED will not be lit.
