AKG Pro Audio P220 High-Performance Condenser Microphone, Great for Vocals, Guitar, Brass, and General Recording. XLR Wired Mic, for Studio or Stage. Black

The AKG Pro Audio P420 is an outstanding microphone for both studio and field recording. The sound quality is clean, warm, and detailed — easily rivaling higher-end mics. The selectable polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-eight) make it extremely versatile for vocals, instruments, and voiceover work. The included shock mount and carrying case are solid and professional-grade, offering excellent protection and stability. The build quality feels premium, and setup is simple. I’ve used it for both music and spoken recordings, and it delivers consistently impressive results. This mic is a real workhorse — highly recommended for anyone serious about audio production.

As a home recording artist, this mic definitely met my needs. For the longest time, I've owned the AKG Perception 120 (the old model), and I've never had a problem with this mic. The main reason to why I bought the P220 was so I can change my setup to have one mic for recording vocals (the P220) and the other mic for recording YouTube videos (Perception 120). The shock mount for the P220 is being used for the Perception 120, and it fits the mic perfectly. Both mics are basically the same size, so I figured that it would work. The build quality on the P220 is rugged and tough, and the functions are very simple. You have 2 main settings: the bass roll off, which is great if you want to record without having to deal with any unnecessary low end frequency that the mic picks up. The other setting cuts off the signal by 20db. From my experience, it's best use is if you have a noisy background, and you don't want that to bleed into the mic. It basically isolates the signal to only be heard right in front of the mic as opposed to everything in the environment. I would be lying if I said that were some things I don't like about it (because I simply LOVE AKG products) but for other people, this might be too simple of a mic compared to other more expensive mics. The sound of this mic is warmer and more direct than the AKG Perception 120, so I felt that it was better for recording vocals. However, the Perception 120 still crushes it in the studio. Some people might consider a different taste in sound compared to other mics, but for me, this mic suits my needs perfectly. The AKG Perception 120: AKG Perception P120 Professional Studio Microphone, Sliver So, here are my pros and cons: PROS: - inexpensive - simple settings - versatile (vocals, guitar, etc.) - rugged CONS (possible opinions of others): - too cheap - too simple (not enough settings) - not preferred taste of sound - too heavy

I love the quality of this mic Been using it for three years now

Love it! Looks great and sounds amazing using my makie Onyx 2v2 Preamp box! Love how it came with all attachments nessasary to set up with my mic arm stand. Definitely worth the money and great for many types of mediums. Great audio clarity and vocal pickups. Sensitivity is designed for orchestras and instruments so use with low audio input when vocal recording. Solid metal frame maker it very durable.

If you're on a limitted budget and looking for that sweet spot where you get the most for your money, this is it for acoustic instrument mics. I found this mic to be warm, accurate, and quiet. It also has good directional separation - so it has been useful to record different acoustic instruments (stringed) playing together simulataneously. For value, I give it 5 stars. There are better mics out there for recording acoustic instruments, but I don't know of anything better in this price range. This is not a Cadillac, but it's sort of like getting a Camry for the price of a used Chevette. If you're starting into recording acoustic instruments, you should try one of these. For instruments, I think it is much better than AKG's p220.

This is my first small condenser mic so of course I think it’s the best I’ve ever had but I do know good quality mics from bad ones because of my experience with dynamics and LDCs of different qualities and manufacturers. I bought a pair of these to use as a matched pair and even though they’re not technically matched they perform great in a stereo array. Very low noise, great rejection from behind, and durable construction. Alone or as a pair these mics sound great on acoustic guitars. I’m no pro studio engineer. I’m just a guy who’s got a small home studio in a spare bedroom and these mics are great for my purposes. More than great. They make acoustic instruments sound amazing just like you hear them in the room thanks to their flat response and the 10dB pad is cool for when you want to mic an amp or drums. I recommend trying one of these with the pad on an amp. It gives electric guitar a different sound than you get from something like an SM57. I would recommend this mic to someone on a budget in a home studio situation. If you go cheaper you’re going to get poor quality and have to upgrade your mic sooner rather than later. Of course there are more expensive SDCs and they’ll be better but I think this AKG is at the point where quality is great and spending more isn’t going to give you huge returns in terms of quality.

Chegou antes do tempo, comprei 02/01/26, estava previsto pra chegar dia 9, e chegou 07/01/26, muito bom produto!

Super mic,för priset, inget att säga vill man ha bra mic då är mera pengar som gäller

I'm very happy with a pair of these mics...Use them for acoustic guitar, great, and also as overheads for a drum kit...

Klein, hinterlässt einen robusten Eindruck. Sprache und Gesang werden gut wiedergegeben. Für meine Zwecke ausreichend.

It is a very nice large diaphragm condenser microphone with a great Frequency response. Very sensitive and catches even if you are speaking from 1 or 2 feet far. Built quality is amazing. Best for starters. Very good mic considering the price.
