Description
Sound on Sound says: The latest offering from AKG is the C2000B, a back‑electret capacitor with a fixed‑cardioid pattern. It can run from any phantom power source in the range 9 to 52 volts and has recessed switches for bass cut and 10dB pad. Unusually, for a microphone of this price, it comes complete with a very nicely engineered H100 shockmount, though no case or cable is included. A simple twist action clamps the shockmount to the mic quite securely, but the mic body design also incorporates a slight lip that prevent the mic from sliding out of the adaptor when inverted. A small touch, but one that could just avert disaster. All the performance figures are well on the good side of acceptable for this category of microphone — the sensitivity is a very typical 20mV/Pa, the unweighted EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) is quoted as 30dB (20dB A weighted) and the frequency range professes to cover 30Hz to 20kHz, though the response plot referred to in the spec sheet wasn't provided with the review model. There is a rise of around three or four dBs in the response between 8 and 12kHz, which provides a nice airy tone without introducing any obvious harshness, and the bass response is well extended. Physically, the mic is robust with a cast metal housing, a tough single‑layer mesh wind screen and an attractive 'metallic champagne' paint job. The styling fits in with the latest generation of AKG mics, right down to the recessed red stripe around the body. The output is via a gold‑plated XLR connector, conventionally wired, while the capsule itself features a diaphragm that's gold sputtered on one side only, apparently to prevent diaphragm‑to‑backplate shorts during very‑high‑SPL use. Though the C2000B looks like a typical large‑diaphragm mic, the active area of the capsule is smaller than you might imagine — around half an inch, from looking at the capsule housing. This doesn't mean the mic has a small sound though, and for non‑close‑up work smaller diaphragms generally mean a cleaner off‑axis response.
