AKG Project Studio P220 condenser microphone

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.
