Muy bueno para voces. Recoge todos los matices y detalles de la voz. Es un poco pesado. Puedes cantar quedito cerca del
Micro y los detalles son espectaculares. Muy recomendable.
Per gli home studio, streamer, cantanti o chiunque stupendo, rende da 10 la voce, chiara e cristallina, frequenze alte presenti il giusto e non taglienti.
Per il costo che ha un microfono che non si pu non avere. Meno di 100 e si ha un prodotto tutto in acciaio e solido come un mattone, una volta acceso ha pure un suo carattere nel rec. Assolutamente convinto sia un microfono da avere sempre.
The sound quality is absolutely amazing for the price. It is probably my favourite pick for condenser microphones at a budget. Great pick if you want one with good sound quality.
Microfono con un ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo. Il suono molto nitido e il microfono si presenta robusto e solido. Accompagnato da un’ottima scheda audio si possono fare parecchie cose.
Arrivato in 24h grazie al PrimeMontato subito e fatto una prova di registrazione, ottimo microfono, con tutto l’anti pop attutisce molto le “P” ma anche le “S” un microfono ottimo per un home studio ma sicuramente di ottima qualitContento di quest’acquistoBellissima anche la confezione con la sua valigetta dove riporlo se non lo si tiene sempre montato come nel mio caso
Adatto alle registrazioni di canzoni, suoni corposo e definisce i dettagli anche senza alcuna modifica
It’s been almost a year now & the recording experience on it is spectacula
It meets my purpose! Very good Product in this budget! Recording quality improved
Extremely clear sound quality, of voice and instrument (tabla). At this price point it’s too good.
Ya lo habia probado en otro studio y aparte de los review que tienen en youtube sobre este micrfono, ahora decidi comprarlo para mi home studio porque si tiene muy buena calidad y por el precio pienso que lo vale realmente
Prodotto di ottima qualit costruttiva, economico con riproduzione voce abbastanza buona, lo consiglio per chi non vuole spendere molto per home studio in casa. Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo. Tempi di consegna rapidi e precisi.
Perfetto per registrare voci
– rapporto qualit prezzo sopra la media
– suono caldo
– davvero consigliato
Far better than P120.. if you planing to buy p120. I would suggest save some money nd buy this.. the carry box is so good premium looks nd quality.
Excellent product. I’m certainly no expert but I’ve been a musician for many many years and have owned a wide assortment of mics, both dynamic and compressor, and this is the best one I’ve ever owned and it performs wonderfully. The build quality is also superb.
I Love this Mic as it is fantastic in build quality and voice quality. I have a few other mics that cost much more but this mic performs brilliantly in every department. A bit sensitive if you don’t have a treated environment as expected. This mic is worth it every penny.
Bought this last month for vocal recording.
Audio quality: Very clear sounding audio with a very balanced sound. Using with my scarlett solo at around 1’O clock gain. Great for vocal recording with minimum noise.
Body: Build quality is top notch and the mic is all metal body.
Accessories: XLR to XLR cable wasn’t included so had to buy separately. Neither was a shock mount. But attachment for mic stand was included.
Overall: Worth buying! Great mic which could’ve been even more expensive with regard to its quality. Go for it with eyes closed
I’m by no means an expert on audio, being a filmmaker/editor, but I also need to do a fairly substantial amount of audio work due to the relatively independent nature of some of the gigs I do.
I’ve briefly used the AT2020 on my voice and others’ voices as well as some other stuff. I only received the AKG p120 today and have only tested it with my voice, but i think i prefer this over the AT2020. Not sure about other things, and it might just be my untrained ear.
Way better than the Samson c-01 mic and the cheaper behringer mics though.
P.S. this mic doesn’t need a pop filler. It’s really good at rejecting plosives.
To those stupids who doesn’t know much about this mic is that this mic needs phantom powered interface to work. It won’t work in anything else.
The best budget Condenser Microphone in the market of this range. Bring up your audio quality with this one. l
Ottimo prodotto per prezzo e caratteristiche. Voce pulita potente e senza fruscii. Io l’ho collegato ad un dbx per cui il lavoro che fa enfatizzato ala grande
Use Good Quality XLR Cable. U Will Be surprise with the results of this microphone.
Genuinely it really cares about money.
At this price range this one is bes
It does everything well, exceptional sound in all modes, nice shockmount and case too! Prefer the 420 over the TLM 103
You just get so much when you buy this. The mic, shock mount, and case are all extremely nice, and to my ear it’s much cleaner and and more crisp than an AT2020. The high pass filter is surprisingly useful too.
I recorded acoustic guitar and vocals with great success with this mic. Just make sure your stand is up to the task of holding something so heavy.
Got this mic for my home studio and I luckily got this at a fair discounted price.
The sound quality that it records is amazing. You should go for it.
Un micrfono con gran calidad, capta muy bien la voz y los detalles de la misma, tambin sirve excelente para amplificar otras seales, el nico pero que tiene es que es un micrfono muy pesado, algunos stands no lo soportarn, hay que saber manejarlo, fuera de ah recomiendo al 100 su compra
Io microfono e stupendo molto massiccio e si sente benissimo la qualit e ottima e molto bella anche la valigetta per riporlo ..direi acquisto perfetto
1) Best recording quality in this budget.
2) Shock mount not included in this pack.
3) Best of Beginners and intermidiate both
Buen microfono, solido robusto y bien acabado y con peso se nota que no es de juguete. Por el precio y el resultado que da es es fantastico. Muy sensible a ruidos lejanos. Pero con la regulacion que trae el propio micro puedes solventar ese problema siempre que no sea un ruido alto. No mete ningun ruido propio grabaciones muy nitidas, solo lo he usado para grabar voz asi que con instrumentos musicales no se como se comportara,Lo uso para grabar videos y podscast y el resultado es muy bueno. Muy contento con el.
Sto usando questo microfono da un po’ di tempo e ne sono molto soddisfatto. Il prezzo contenuto, anche considerando che arriva con una custodia rigida a valigetta molto robusta e con il ragno, roba che qualche decina di euro da sola la costa.
Forse un po’ debole sui bassi, ma non posso in realt dare su questo un parere tanto affidabile perch la stanza nella quale registro non trattata. Il suono molto nitido, esce con un segnale molto alto che non rende necessario alzare i pre sulla scheda audio. Ho provato tutte le varie modalit che offre e devo dire che ha sempre fatto quello che doveva fare. In particolare, la possibilit di passare da cardioide a omni a 8 mi stata utilissima per registrare chitarre acustiche, abbinandolo a dei condensatori a diaframma stretto. Beh, insomma, se vi serve un buon condensatore, molto versatile, questo vi andr bene
I bought the mic in lightning sale for 4.5k,this is the worst packaging i ever got from Amazon its look like refurbished product but i am not sure .
Sounds good. Best mic to get in this price range.
Microfono collegato prima ad una Scarlett 2/2 e poi ad volt 2 Universal audio. Microfono chiaro .non medioso. Con bassi equilibrati che non esagerano. Comunque va a gusti. da provare altri microfono dalle stesse fasce di prezzo
Praise the Lord
I’ve small home Studio.
It’s really great condencer microphone in this price range. You can place a order? If don’t like you can replace.
Please do not go for low range of sets of recording instruments in this price range. You won’t get the quality of recording.
Buy less, buy good qualities.
Microfoni molto validi,io li uso in una radio bodcas
If you know your stuff, you can experiment buying other mics but in this price point, AKG P120 is consider a safe side for beginners. I have been using this mic with Behringer’s entry lever audio interface. The performance of this mic is good. It pick up almost zero static or noise from background. I’ve been using this equipment in a ‘not acoustically treated’ room which is quite small. Still, it doesn’t disappoint me. I’ve recorded quite a lot of songs on it. So far so good. The packaging on this also quite nice. You can also do live performances using this microphone. Thank you HARMAN for this beautiful piece of art.
Un micrfono increble con un precio Super accesible, vale la pena.
I have a basey thick voice. It captured it most beautifully, dynamic response is mind blowing. Just mind the fact that the case and the electronics make it extremely heavy. You will need a good stand to hold this mic well.
It’s a good quality mic for people on a budget. One complaint is high frequency cuts, best to use it with dbx 286s mic preamp
J’aime bien ! Le son est trs clair et propre ! Super,mais il n’y a pas de trousse comme SHURE SM 58.
So far I have had this mic for over a year now and I carry it around a lot.
Very well built, and still working after a few accidental drops lol
Would buy AKG agai
Awesome mic for beginners…. A little boost in low mids and mids but you can correct it in mix… Not a big issue…
Es un buen micrfono para dar el siguiente paso en tu Home estudio
Honestly I have had other mics and none compare to this one, I honestly thought I sucked but after buying this mic I realized it was my old mic that was trash and not me, I wish this was my first ever mic I bought!!!! I promise you this is the best for its price
Fast delivery and well wrapped, Easy to set up and the sound is of a high standard. I am still learning about other recording features that I can use with this mike. but so far GREAT.
This is brand company product so quality is best as brand
This is the kind of mic which has the potential to sound amazing with a little bit of EQ and proper room acoustics. I’ve had it for a while now and I can say the first time I recorded my vocals on it I was overjoyed at the fact that what I wanted was what I got.
Although there are other mics out there with larger 1″ diaphragms, this 2/3″ diaphragm will also do the trick provided the environment it’s placed in and the vocal technique of the performer are proper.
The self noise floor could’ve been reduced but considering the quality you’re getting out of this package I’d say it’s not much of an issue as the noise gets covered up by music pretty well.
I think the boost around 6k could’ve been reduced a bit in the manufacturing or designing stage but controlling it with an EQ or dynamic compresser is easy too. It goes well with heavy voices at proper distances.
The construction is study and durable and won’t give you problems apart from the fact that it’s a bit hard to fit the regular ~Rs.500/- shock mounts you find on Amazon because they’re good.
Concluding, if your budget is around 7k, it would do you good to buy this mic and a good quality cable and if you’re somewhere around 5k then reach out just a little bit because it’ll be a good future proof investment for a while. Try not to use it with entry level interfaces like Behringer or vault as they will only rob the mic of its full potential.
Good luck to you and keep making awesome music! If you’d like to check me out my insta is @psyaprod
AKG es una marca legendaria, gran calidad en sus productos y este micrfono es excelente para home studio adems de tener un diseo precioso.
Um excelente microfone pelo que custa. Bem equilibrado, funciona muito bem para vozes mais graves e ao contrrio do que muitos pensam, o SM57B da Shure um timo microfone para vocais de rock, algo mais gritado, enquanto nessa pegada mais macia e que equilibra os mdios-graves eu prefiro bem mais o P420 da AKG. Enfim, um excelente mic pra alguns tipos de uso, vale analisar bem e no sair comprando achando que vai servir pra tudo, pois nem o SM57B serve pra tudo.
crisp, clear, natural, warm sound recording. also exceptionally well made and engineered. Top quality microphone all round.
Valio la pena el gasto a salido muy bueno y mas economico q otros lados
Writing this review almost after 15 days of use. Would not recommend if you dont have soundproof room it records all the outside noise.
But in soundproof room the quality is amazing it gives i use this mic to record vocals the recording quality comes natural and it is good for beginners as i am also a beginner.
Thamk you!!
I have used this in live theatre shows as well as recordings and live streams. for the price it is an amazing little mic
This microphone is a high quality device. You can feel it in the weight of it, but the sound proves it out.
I use it for recording singing and for online interviews.
I highly recommend it.
If you’re looking for budget condenser microphones, then AKG P120 is the best option to go for it. Worth buying
Bought this for my sons studio. He produces music.,He loves this microphone.
Un excelente micrfono no muy caro. Lo utilizamos para grabar voces, aunque es difcil atinarle al volumen por que luego se satura con mucha facilidad. An as, la calidad es ntida y excelente.
it is good product from a reasonable price. this is good microphone for home studio without acoustic because noise cancellation is excellent. all suggesting for beginners.
thank you amazon for fast delivery
El pedido llego solo con la caja del producto en vez de llevar el embalamiento de amazon, pero esta en perfecto estado y cumple con todas sus funciones
A really good value for money microphone. The only part it lacks is the low end which is still pretty decent for value.
It has good quality sound and the -20 switch lowers the volume enough to use it for loud instruments like drums, saxophone ect. But it’s is sensitive enough to get decent vocals as well. I did notice while using a Scarlett solo, the volume wasn’t very high. You might consider a pre Amp with this mic
Just tested the AKG condenser microphone. For the price it’s really good quality product.
Sound quality is as good as the expensive ones.
Chi vuole comprare questo microfono si presume sappia gi perch comprarlo. Dico solo, arrivato il prodotto, mi aspettavo meno. la risposta in frequenza delle varie polarit, incredibilmente molto meglio di quella che mi aspettavo. Prende i 50hz che una meraviglia, va quasi scavata la risposta con un equalizzatore dopo l’aquisizione, in quanto acquisisce le sub frequenze integramente. Evito accorgimenti sulle frequenze alte, in quanto un Perception e il nome dice tutto… una fedelt assoluta. Un microfono veramente eccezionale per moltissime situazioni. Se lo avete studiato prima di decidere se comprarlo, dubito fortemente che post acquisto e dopo i varii utilizzi vi pentirete di averlo preso. 5 stelle piene per questo gran prodotto.
This microphone came all sealed although I haven’t yet tested out if it works or not but im sure it does en I have some hope too.
Amazingly put together sounds so much better than my shure sm57 the difference is worth the money perfect beginner mic
This mic is excellent for beginners like me. Trust me u can’t have this quality in this price range. Mic is heavy and not made of cheap quality material. I was lucky that i got this mic by paying just Rs.5863/- in a deal and I’m superb happy with this
Well, I’m an amateur, so my poor ears say it’s great.
De momento est bien, es “limpio” pero lo esperaba ms sensible, an as por el precio parece un buen producto, espero comprar el AT2020 para determinar cul es mejor, eso s parece muy robusto y como decimos en mi pas, se nota que “bien guerrero”
Great microphone works perfectly, unlike one of the video reviews on here, that you can actually see he didn’t have phantom power turned on… it’s a condensed mic, it needs 48 volts to work.
