AKGPerception P420 Microphone
The AKG Perception P420 functions as a professional-grade condenser microphone intended for professional home studio and project studio recording applications. Its large diaphragm together with high sensitivity enables the microphone to record detailed natural sound with warming results when used with sources including vocals and piano and brass instruments and woodwinds along with percussion instruments. Users can select between cardioid omnidirectional and figure-8 polar patterns when using the P420. Studio artists choose this microphone because it delivers excellent performance whether they need stereo miking or ambiance capture or acoustic duets. The P420 operates safely at 155 dB high sound pressure levels which enables its use with powerful drum instruments. A full ensemble and any solo vocal recording benefit from the P420 which guarantees consistent clear and balanced sound output.
