Zum Verkauf stehen 2 stark gebrauchte aber voll funktionstüchtige Kondensatormikrofone von AKG
Set Preis
Timing matters a bit here because this is an older, established mic/accessory rather than a current-generation gadget, so value is mostly about condition and completeness. At €100, it sits above the recent used median of €89 and clearly over the 25th percentile of €69, but still inside the usual spread up to €94 only by a small margin, so this reads as a slightly ambitious ask rather than a bargain.
That said, the C1000S family has a long reputation for being a practical, dependable utility piece: easy to place, useful in live and studio contexts, and still relevant if you want a compact, no-drama AKG solution. If it’s genuinely clean and fully functional, the extra few euros can be justified by avoiding a rougher example; I’d mainly want confirmation on cable health, connector integrity, and that everything included is original and usable.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
AKG traces its roots to post-war Vienna, Austria, where physicist Dr. Rudolf Görike and engineer Ernst Pless founded Akustische und Kino-Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. in 1947. Emerging from the ruins of World War II, the duo initially supplied cinemas with loudspeakers, film projectors, and light meters, handcrafting products in a modest basement with just five employees. Rapid expansion followed, as AKG ventured into car horns, intercoms, and carbon microphone capsules, quickly gaining traction with radio stations, theaters, and jazz clubs across Europe.
The brand's product focus sharpened on professional audio excellence, pioneering headphones in 1949 and achieving global acclaim with the D12 microphone in 1953, which set standards for voice transmission. AKG became renowned for high-fidelity microphones, including iconic models like the C12 tube mic, alongside headphones, wireless systems, and phonograph cartridges. While early diversification included cinema gear, the company honed in on studio-grade transducers and monitoring tools, later incorporating digital wireless tech.
Today, under Harman International (a Samsung subsidiary since 2017), AKG holds a commanding position as a pro-audio powerhouse, favored by engineers, performers, and broadcasters for its precision and reliability. It bridges mid-tier accessibility with high-end heritage, appealing to discerning hi-fi buyers seeking reference-quality headphones and mics that deliver uncolored, transparent sound— a legacy of Austrian engineering that remains a studio staple worldwide.
