AKG Acoustics Perception 220

  Street: $179 / MSRP: $350 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Description

AKG’s Perception 220 is the new version of the Perception 200; both are fixed-cardioid, large-diaphragm FET condensers. The single obvious difference between the two mics is the pad; the -10dB pad on the 200 has been changed to a -20dB pad on the 220.

The published frequency plots for the 200 and 220 are identical. Note that despite the stated frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz, both the Perception 200 and 220 share a -3dB point around 50Hz.

The Perception 220 ships with an elastic shockmount (AKG p/n SH-100) in an aluminum flightcase.

The AKG Perception microphones are manufactured in China, but are subject to AKG’s quality control standards. The mics were designed by AKG in Vienna.
