Key Info
Dual-Capsule Condenser Microphone
The AKG Perception P420 is a high-performance, large-diaphragm condenser microphone featuring a dual-capsule design. The P420 is ideal for studio recording applications, highly suited to ensemble recording, piano, woodwind, brass and even drums and percussion. At the heart of the P420 is the one-inch dual-diaphragm capsule, complete with three selectable polar patterns for maximum versatility. The switchable polar patterns allow you to attenuate the sound of the microphone for various recording applications. Some polar patterns are suited for close proximity recordings, whereas others are great for overheads and ambient room micing.

The high-end dual-capsule design, boasts a wide frequency response, intended to capture every nuance of your source audio. The resulting sound is warm and transparent, as well as being rich and defined. The extreme detail the microphone captures is ideal for studio-grade recordings, cutting through any mix with ease. The three selectable polar patterns achieve different sounds and tones. The polar patterns included are: cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-8. The flexible polar patterns mean it is ideal for stereo micing and ambient recordings. It even features a switchable attenuation pad, providing high SPL ranging up to 155dB.
Robust Design
Low-noise electronics have been employed in the design of the Perception P420, ensuring optimal signal integrity and a high dynamic range. The robust, all-metal design is ideal for life on the road, making it suitable for both stage and studio recording purposes. It features a sturdy and robust integrated grille, designed to eliminate unwanted wind noise and vibrations, helping to protect the internal components for optimal protection. Additionally, the microphone comes complete with a spider shock mount and a metal carrying case for storing and transporting your microphone with ease.
