AKG PERCEPTION Series - MARKET REACTION
…I do radio voice overs and I can tell you that after using a $1,000 Neumann, a $650 Shure and a $1,200 Sennheiser, this mic sounds better than any of those
I bought this mic a few weeks ago and have used it for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. The results from this mic were unbelievable for the price! The vocals were clear and warm-sounding. The guitar had a LIVE feel to it.
I own a pair of these mics and have used them to record everything from drums to choirs and they have delivered a very clear and clean sound with awesome detail.
This is THE best buy in an inexpensive condenser mic. So far, I have only used it for vocals and it delivers a warm, transparent sound that I have found lacking in other mics in this price range.
I was just BLOWN AWAY by its clarity and presence – It has that sound that mics a few times its price would have.
Features
Large-Diaphragm True Condenser microphone with a big, up-front sound quality
Switchable 20 dB preattenuation pad for use in sound fields as high as 155 dB
Switchable bass cut filter minimizes noise and boominess
Spider-type Shock Mount and Metal Case included
Cardioid pickup minimizes off-axis sound
