About this product

Product Information

Serious recordings require a serious microphone, and the AKG Perception 420 is a contender for the role. This multi-pattern large-diaphragm microphone offers high sensitivity and excellent noise cancellation, thanks to the shockmount that comes with it. For customizability, the Perception 420 comes with three polar patterns, namely the cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-eight configurations. The 155 dB maximum SPL capability and switchable bass-cut filter improve sound quality even further. For the perfect touch, this condenser microphone has a zinc/aluminum alloy chassis and a dent-resistant stainless steel grille, which makes it sturdy and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This model is ideal for ensemble recording as well as recordings of various musical instruments such as the grand piano, drums, percussions, and guitar. For better appreciation from your listeners from now onward, use this high-quality professional microphone as your recording aid.

Great packaging, and shipped within a day. Got to me in less than 3-4 days. Very happy with the service. The lens was physically as described however the mechanical aspect was not perfect. We had great communication with the seller and they were very proactive in solving our issue. Would recommend as a trusted seller.

AKG 420 Perception
I purchased this mic from a great ebay seller at a great price, that's always a plus. Have to say that it has lived up to all that was said and demonstrated about it. It is crystal clear and very responsive. Having a mic with two diaphrams is a big plus when you have limited space. I use it for home recordings only, never out on stage and that's only because the places I play are simply too small. Feedback with condensers is always a problem in an enclosed space using monitors and when mic levels have to be up in volume to cover drums and such. I am, however still considering the Sterling Audio ST59. I haven't had or heard it in action myself but I did own a ST 55 and found it to be excellent. The 59 has multiple settings like the 420 does. Sterling mics have a wide range of pricing but ... I purchased this mic from a great ebay seller at a great price, that's always a plus.

Sterling mics have a wide range of pricing but the quality on all of them is excellent... a very underated company IMHO ... but back to this mic.... after using it, I just may consider keeping it, I think it is that good and I would go so far as to say I love it. If you want a mic that is so sensitive that you can hear yourself breathing in the cans, this is you mic.. above, I checked off lightweight as NO and that is a good thing... built like a little tank... just make sure that if you purchase one that it comes with the shock mount if you don't have one.. you will need it if you are a foot tapper while you record and if the neighbors next door are fighting, you will hear every word..lol

Pro quality studio all-rounder on a budget!
One of the best Chinese large-diaphragm condensers out there. The AKG circuit design is cribbed straight from the U87Ai, and while the components aren't terribly high end, the sound quality is fantastic for the price. It's easily worth double the MSRP, and with a little skill can be easily modified to sound like mics costing over $1000. The - 20dB pad makes it useful on loud sources, and the multipattern switch makes it versatile for use as a room mic, or vocal, or even hard-to-mic instruments like piano and cello.

Excellent Mic
I didn't have a huge budget, but I did a lot of research on mics and also looked at which recordings/artists used certain ones in their home studios. The AKG Perception 420 was a winner for me from the brand reputation, the features (3 patterns - so I can use it for just vocals or guitar or a group of people - no matter), and it was used by a couple of people I respected. I am thoroughly happy with this purchase.I didn't have a huge budget, but I did a lot of research on mics and also looked at which recordings/artists used certain ones in their home studios.

The 420 is a mic that can be used for just about everything, anytime. ;)
I use this for vocals, room effect and drum overheads. Heard good things and got it for $150, I am very happy with the multi pattern option as well as the pad/boost and linear pick-up signal switch. One of the first large condenser purchases for my locker, BIG difference between the 420 and AKG paired C1000S's when recording drum overheads. For vocals,I use an ART tube pre for this and can sound like Barry White, really hot. (as in hot signal) Put one of these in the middle of a bass, guitar and drums and hit 'RECORD'.I use this for vocals, room effect and drum overheads.

AKG Percetion 420 Professional Microphone
I decided I needed a better mike than my s57 for recording vocals. I have some friends who use a condenser mic onstage for vocals and acoustic instruments and decided to have a go. I have not been disappointed. I have had the mic for a few months and am very satisfied with it. I use it with my playing partner for recording practice sessions. We place the mike in front of a PA speaker and record on a Tascam. Just had to try a few placement positions and yahoo! Excellent results. I also use it for recording on my Emac via garage band. The sound is crystal clear and alive. I sing in midrange, usually key of G, F#, E. All original acoustic singer/songwriter with a R&R, Blues, Americana bend. With this mic I can sing naturally, with no forced effort, and it comes across clear as a bell. I ... I decided I needed a better mike than my s57 for recording vocals.
