AKG Perception 220 Description
The Perception 220 is a large-diaphragm True Condenser microphone. It features AKG's new design and logo style, True Condenser capsule technology, switchable 20 dB attenuation pads, and switchable low-cut filter. The condenser is housed in a rugged die-cast chassis. Spider-type shock mount and metal mic case included.

In 2005, AKG launched the Perception models 100 and 200 and it marked the beginning of a big success story. With Perception, AKG created a new series of microphones with legendary AKG sound and quality at an outstanding price/performance level. AKG's Perception Microphones are among the best for wired condenser microphones for their price point. Requires phantom power.

So far the AKG Perception 220 performs lovely! This is the microphone we chose to use for Rap, Hip Hop and R&B vocals. This is our first mic and so far its wonderful. Wonderful quality, it can hear a pin drop across the room, also comes with a nice sturdy case and spider shock mount well worth the price and a good newbie mic! Also the mic come with a switch that can take the extra "boom" and bass out of your voice if need be. Performs great for vocals male and female alike! I reccommend it as a beginner mic!

This was my first condenser mic I've ever bought. I have an SM58 that I've mainly recorded with before. Wow...what a difference in sensitivity. I don't need to be right on the mic now. I can sit back a foot and relax. This thing picks up everything. Before my CPU was not much of an issue - now it is - I'll have to set something up to knock down the fan noise. I built a quick box with regular foam in it to deaden the room ambiance when I place the mic in it and that has helped as well.

Overall, I really like this mic. I picked it up for $197 at Steve's Music in Ottawa.
