This week were looking at another classic AKG dynamic mic, the D1000E. Rated as their "top" live mic back in the late 60's and early 1970's this mic, while inexpensive on the used market, can really pack a punch! We look at the mic on piano, electric guitar, acoustic bass, drums and vocals.

Special Thanks to Deena Z for vocals this week!
