AKG Acoustics Perception 150
Street: $109 / MSRP: $280 Cardioid Pencil Condenser Microphone
Description
The Perception 150 is an inexpensive small-diaphragm FET condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern. It has been replaced in the Perception product family by the Perception 170, which appears to be identical in every feature and spec aside from the pad (and therefore the max SPL).
Although AKG states the mic’s frequency range as 20Hz - 20kHz, the frequency plot stops at 50Hz on the low end. It dips -2dB at 20Hz and 5kHz, with a presence peak (+6dB) at 10kHz, sloping back to -2dB at 20kHz. This plot is identical to that of the Perception 170.
A switch on the mic body enables the -10dB pad. (On the Perception 170, the pad gives 20dB rather than 10dB of attenuation.)
It ships with a storage pouch and a mic clip.
The Perception 150, like the rest of the Perception series, is manufactured in China to AKG’s specs and standards.
