C 1
Battery status LED for reliable
monitoring of remaining battery life
Can be powered by internal 9 V battery
or by phantom power (9-52 V DC)
PPC 1000 allows the microphone to be
switched from cardioid to
hypercardioid pickup pattern
Presence Boost Adapter PB 1000
is included for high-end enhancement
The versatility of the C 1000 S makes this an extremely popu
lar model, and one ideally suited for all kinds of recording and
live sound applications.
If no phantom power is available, the mic can be powered by
a standard 9 V battery, making it perfect for mobile use. With
its new battery monitoring electronics, the C 1000 S now fea
tures a reliable LED warning light. The red LED above the the
microphone switch lights up when the remaining battery life
falls below 45 minutes. The polar pattern can quickly be swit
ched from cardioid to hypercardioid simply by attaching the
PPC 1000 Polar Pattern Converter provided to the microphone
capsule. The PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter also supplied
with the C 1000 S adds 3 to 5 dB of high-end enhancement
between 5 and 9 kHz, improving clarity of speech and adding
definition to instrument sounds.
