It struck me that the bright characteristic of this mic
could be used to advantage other than in concert
applications, for recording of instruments such a
celeste, or tuned percussion, glockenspiel, bar chimes, bell tree, etc.
The sound was pleasing - clean, clear and bright,
with adequate gain.

Yes, that pretty fairly sums up this mic. Bright - too
bright for many applications and harsh is a description
I've often heard. Of course any flavour of mic will find
an application, even if it is "enhanced intelligibility"
in a church, oxymoron though that clearly is.


Several reports of the C1000 making most things sound "
glassy and unnatural".

Several reports? So you have no first hand experience?

Neither did you Iain, and that didn't stop you from recommending it and
supporting that reccomendation.

I don't know anybody who has much budget or time for mics with the sort of
reputation that the C1000 has.

Apparently not even you Iain.


This is quite a step back from your initial "the AKG C1000
sound like ****" statement, isn't it?

No, its an obvious clarification. I know very few people who are stupid
enough not to see the relationship between the two statements.
