General

AKG's Perception series is being improved upon constantly. This AKG Perception P220 is living proof of AKG's vision of widely applicable, high-quality, attractively priced studio microphones. The P220 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone and is the most popular model from the Project Studio Line. With its switchable -20 dB pad and the effective low-cut, it is a versatile model. The P220 is delivered highly completely, including the SH100 Spider shockmount (for vibration-free recordings) and a durable, metal microphone case, that protects the Perception P220 during transport or storage.

AKG P220: capsule

The P220's condenser capsule is about 25mm long and it has a cardioid pickup pattern which ensures that the sound in front of the microphone is accurately picked up. Ambient noise is ignored, reducing the feedback sensitivity as well. The sound is warm and open, and the smooth frequency curve knows a boost around 50 and 10,000 Hz. If you want to get rid of the lowest frequencies, you can use the switchable low-cut. It cuts in around 300 Hz and is extremely effective, thanks to the steepness of the filter (12 dB/octave).

High SPL and durable construction

AKG has attuned the design of this Perception P220 to challenging sound sources. Drum kits, stage violence, guitar cabinets or rock vocalists are no problem for it! The maximum SPL is no less than 155 dB, so you won't suffer distortion. Its black lacquer gives the microphone a stylish look. The housing is fully made of metal and designed for live and on-the-road applications. Its grey, metal grille is durable and looks stylish. You are assured of AKG durability and you can enjoy the care-free performance of the P220.

Snel geleverd door BAX. Was B-Stock zonder de verpakking maar dat stond al aangegeven in de webshop dus dat klopte. Microfoon klinkt uitstekend. Wel heel gevoelig voor de ruimte, zorg bij zang dat je de akoestiek op orde hebt voor het beste resultaat. Werkt ook prima op akoestische gitaren. Mic is wel wat zwaar, een kleine richtmicrofoon is wat handelbaarder en beter te plaatsen voor instrumenten. Hij is helderder dan veel andere grootmembraam microfoons. Persoonlijk vind ik dat fijn, je kan het hoog altijd een beetje weg filteren in je EQ. Dan komt het midden beter naar voren en dat is strak en warm. Voor dit geld uitstekend alternatief voor de duurdere AKG C414.

Echt een top microfoon, wat ik ook wel had verwacht van AKG. Gebruikt voor vocalen. Heel helder en natuurlijk. Ik ben zeer tevreden. Goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Deze mic heeft wel weinig reviews maar is zeker een aanrader! En zoals altijd top service van bax!

Geweldige microfoon,
Geluid klinkt kraakhelder en dat zonder verlies van warmte.
Een goede keuze om mee te beginnen!

Goede microfoon, groot dynamisch bereik, werkt goed op zang en akoestische gitaar, maar doet ook prima dienst als overhead microfoon bij drums. Veel waar voor je geld. Mooie shock mount ook waar je de microfoon in schroeft.
