CloseInvaluable Quality from a Mic You Can Afford
Large diaphragm condenser microphones, like the AKG Perception 120, are something that no one should have to go without. Especially when it comes to tracking vocals, finding yourself without a decent large diaphragm condenser is akin to suddenly realizing you're up a certain distasteful creek without a rowing implement. Now, you might be thinking "but I can't afford a large diaphragm condenser mic — won't this handheld dynamic I've already got do the trick?"Wrong on both counts! That handheld might sound good live, but you want need clarity and character for recording. And thanks to AKG, you can get both, with their super-affordable Perception 120 cardioid condenser microphone. The AKG Perception 120's got all the options of a pro studio microphone, including a switchable 20dB pad and optional bass roll-off. It's made by AKG too, which means you know it's a high-quality mic. In fact, the only major difference between the AKG Perception 120 and lots of those so-called pro mics is the price.
