AKG Perception 120

Descrizione

Getting started is a tricky business for most studios. Usually, a starting budget is not big enough to purchase a professional microphone and mixer right away. AKG realise that a large number of starting studio owners face this problem, which is why they have developed the AKG Perception 120 USB. As the name implies, this practical microphone can be connected via USB, enabling you to make recordings without the use of a mixer.

The interior of the Perception 120 USB condenser microphone is a work of high-quality art. This condenser microphone is fitted with a built-in converter that converts the analogue signal to a digital signal of such a high quality that you can make CD-grade recordings. A separate sound card that works on 24-bit just like this one and has an oversampling rate of 128x, will usually cost you around 100 Euros. Within this price range, it is quite exceptional to find a microphone with such outstanding sound quality for less than 200 Euros.

The Perception 120 USB offers a clean and clear sound, which is not only ideal for singing, but also great for professional-sounding voice-overs. The microphone features several settings that can be adjusted for optimal recordings. It is equipped with a bass-cut filter that blocks out any low frequencies that you don't want to be audible in your recording. You can also opt to take 20 dB off the incoming signal in order to reduce the amount of noise in your recordings. The microphone has a cardioid pickup pattern, which is great for recording lead vocals, as well as choirs or speech. Due to the rugged exterior you will enjoy this high-grade USB condenser microphone for years.
