RECORDING MICROPHONES AKG PERCEPTION 220

Dynamic mics have a simple and robust build that makes them great for live use or on the loudest of sound sources, but for the detail and depth required of studio recordings, only a condenser microphone like the AKG Perception 220 will do. Designed by AKG for a wide variety of applications, the Perception 220 excels at recording vocals and acoustic instruments like acoustic guitar. Two simple switches tune the mic for different sources. For example, leaving the bass roll-off flat yields a beefy proximity effect, perfect for capturing rich, present, and resonant sung or spoken vocals ( think Eddie Vedder or Don Imus) . By engaging the bass roll-off, the Perception 220 becomes the perfect tool for capturing an acoustic guitar sound that' s detailed, articulate, and cuts through any mix. That' s nowhere near the limit of this microphone' s applications, of course. Violins, choirs, percussion, and even sound effect/ foley design elements are well served by the Perception 220, and when you engage the -20 dB pad switch, the mic can handle loud sources like electric guitar, bass amps, and drum kits. Just point and hit record; you' ll be pleased with the results.
