so i only bought one of these and only pick up the left channel. i'm assuming its not a stereo mic and need to buy a second one to get a reading on both channels. can anyone confirm?
-
well, you can get the right side if you plug it in the right channel :)
yeah, i think you figured out your issue.

Thanks, I guess its frustrating when you buy that thing and don't know ahead of time. What keyword should I be looking for in the specs to avoid this again?

Stereo ::)

rrrrright

Or, since it's a battery powered microphone, you can split the signal and run dual mono if you don't have the $$ to work another solution for now.

It does look like it should be a stereo mic the thing is huge! Don't feel bad.. Many of us here have made mistakes.... LIKE ANY new hobby there is a learning curve.. This is the best place to come and ask questions.

What am I missing? AKG specs this as an XLR out. That's mono.
The combination of a high quality backplate condenser transducer
and capsule shock mount optimizes handling and cable
noise rejection. The microphone body consists of a massive
aluminum shaft and screw-on brass front tube with a rugged
stainless steel mesh cap. The microphone uses an internationally
standardized 3-pin male XLR output connector
Where is stereo in the spec? I sure missed it.

You're not missing anything in the specs, but you may be missing that the OP didn't know that the mic is not stereo, or whatever. And now he's asking for help.

One thing I had forgotten about the C1000 is that it has an adapter you can stick on the end of it to make it a hyper. I used to patch out of a guy who occasionally ran them that way. I think it was probably a mistake 95% of the time to run them hyper, but oh well.... Anyway, an interesting and fairly unique feature for that type of mic, no?
