The AKG C2000B Microphone with Mic Holder is 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.
