AKG C4000B Studio Condenser Microphone

This new microphone represents the latest in AKG's long heritage of true 1 in. large diaphragm, premium microphones. Feature:
Being able to change Filtering and sound tresholds are very useful when doing a versatile recording with Piano plus wind instruments (re-recording)

Quality:
Looks and Sounds very reliable, no cosmetical probs. either

Sound:
The C4000B sound is crisp, precise and still warm. I use a pair of AKG C4000B's with a Korg D1600 Digital Recording Studio for Jazz and Classical Piano and solo instruments recordingEven compared to Solid Tube technology, the C4000B are excellent

Support:
Not applicable for the C4000B, but I had broken an older AKG mike that was very well handled by the company (that was quite an older piece of equipment)

Overall:
Those two C4000B will be kept a long time... till worn out ;-), and could be complemented with different models for specific instruments(e.g. drums.My choice was a quality/price based: the solid tube mikes were more expensive, while the perceived difference in quality was not big.
