THE AKG PERCEPTION 420 MULTI-PATTERN CONDENSER MICROPHONE

The AKG Perception 420 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone is a large-diaphragm, multi-pattern, high SPL condenser microphone with shock mount and case. The AKG Perception 420 is a multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone for more demanding professional studio recording applications. Offering high sensitivity and 155 dB maximum SPL, the Perception 420 delivers a warm transparent sound quality ideally suited for ensemble recording, grand piano, woodwind and brass instruments as well as drums and percussion instruments. In addition, three selectable polar patterns – cardioid, omnidirectional or figure-eight – allow a wide range of stereo miking techniques and ambient recording. A switchable bass cut filter and pre-attenuation pad enable the Perception 420 to be used close to sound sources in sound fields as high as 155 dB. The microphone's chassis is made of precision-tooled zinc/aluminium alloy and boasts a dent resistant stainless-steel wire-mesh front grille. It is supplied with a spider-type shock mount in an aluminium carrying case.
