C1000s MKIV : AKG C1000S Mk4

12 years ago

Another "Industry Standard" updated! The idea of using 2 AA cells instead of a 9V battery will probably increase battery life for those who need battery power. I thought I had got an older previous version at first because I twice failed to see the switches for pad and 80Hz cut. They are TINY! (Ultra miniature slide switches) mounted either side of the battery holder. I always want the 80Hz cut switched in by default. These things were once referred to as "Rumble Filters" in the days of vinyl record decks. They help to cut floor noise, and possibly bass drum through a wooden stage, but not a lot more.
