The mic is really good. Sturdy. Good quality vocals. At a price range, this really seals the deal. Note this a cardioid electrect condensor mic. If u are looking for a large diaphragm, true condensor mic, then go for the higher version.

This is the best condenser mic at this price point. Excellent build quality. Excellent sound. Excellent for 99% of users. It easily exceeds any and all audio quality requirements for streaming or recordings that are transmitted over the Internet.

Realmente es un buen micrfono y no es caro ($1900). Es fcil de usar y trae filtro de ruido y un ajuste para usar con diferentes tipos de fuentes sonoras. Lo us con una interfaz Behringer UMC202HD y muy bien ya que no necesit phantom power.
Nota: Revisa que tu interfaz tenga phantom power, si no, no sonar ya que el micrfono lo requiere.

This was a birthday present to go with the microphone arm which I also bought.

After a little bit of readjusting and with the help of his dad my son got this just right and is perfectly happy with his microphone.

For the price, this mic is well built. The sound quality suits me perfectly for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. The heavy duty screw in mic clip, is something that I wasn’t expecting. I did end end purchasing a shock mount shortly after getting the mic. Not that I will necessarily benefit from it, just hoping to eliminate a few sounds produced from banging the microphone arm or ikea desk everything is clamped to.

Use for recording studio, upgraded from cheaper model. It makes the most difference when your raw input signal is the best it can be. Vocal, and guitar use, even in high spl massive overdriven application performs well above its pay grade. Unlike the cheaper model, you will need a pop filter, and the tv down the hall muted ;).
Highly recommend AKG

UPDATE: I was able to return and get the same order. After using for a few months, I am quite happy with my purchase and already received a few compliments on the sound quality of my mic.

I received my order today 2/10/21 with the mic case broken.

The mic is nice and sounds nice for my voice (4.5 stars). However, seeing the damage on the case gives me pause that this mic may have sustained some kind of damage. Right now it sounds alright. As these things go, the problem might rear its ugly face once the return window expires.

It came in an Amazon shipping box that wasn’t damaged which makes me think the damage was sustained before shipping. My item should be labeled/priced as refurbished.

I bought this for work during the pandemic, as I have to do a lot of online talking and recording. I took the time to sit down and compare this to my Meteor mic and my built-in MacBook (what else is there to do during the pandemic?). I was really surprised. By comparison, my built-in MacBook mic sounded like I lived in a big steel drum: lots of ambient noise and unwanted reverb. The Meteor was noticeably quieter than the MacBook, but it still had a high level squeal/hum in the background. When switching to the AKG, the hum largely disappeared. I say “largely” because nothing is totally silent. By comparison, this thing is amazing. I’m not a professional musician or podcaster, but I have played my acoustic guitar straight into this, and I’ve done dozens of recordings of my speaking voice: it sounds really, really clean. My main recommendation for a good mic is that if you’re doing a lot of online material (teaching, podcasting, recording), the ability to eliminate that background noise will save your listeners literal headaches. You may not notice it right away, but if you listen for an hour or two, it’s likely going to grate on the listener.

Coupled with my Scarlett interface, this thing does everything I could want it to do. That said, I’m not a professional in audio at all. So more discriminating ears might find fault with this. However, I do not.

Das Mikrophon klingt sehr scharf und fr meinen Geschmack kommen zu viele hohe Frequenzen miz durch (bzw. klingen die hohe Frequenzen sehr laut)
Kann man aber alles mit einem Equalizer beheben.
Klare Kaufempfehlung von meiner Seite, wenn man ein gnstiges Mikrophon sucht!

The first order gave me a faulty microphone, which made me scared.
When I returned it, they gave a new one, without charging any extra cost, and that works perfect!!

excellent microphone for this price range. Good one if u want to set up a home studio with out compromising quality and if ur on a budget. I bought this together with a scarlet 2i2 solo. I got this mic for around 6999 and scarlet solo for 9799. Wait for festive season if u want to grab great deals !

All is well and I have been using it for vocal dubbing. It works great only if you have a good XLR cable and Audio Int. Otherwise it will create more hissing… product is good but packaging looked like it was a used product. I don’t mind using it but it was very poorly packed and handled by delivery agent.

Muy buen micrfono para empezar con tus grabaciones caseras. Yo vena de un behringer B1 y la verdad que el salto se nota. An as, si quieres mejor calidad debes ir por el p220.

Sound is beautiful and the mic arrived very fast in the post.

his is an excellent condenser mic with nice built quality…though m not a professional sound engineer but it sounds very natural… I use it for my home recordings…comes with a very nice case to store it safely and securely..and with the spider, mount…overall a good product with akgs’ reliability… though I’m willing to sell mine one anyone interested can contact me @[email protected] thank you

I feel that this Condenser Microphone complements the tone of my voice better than what I have used in the past. Defo brilliant quality for a budget. ‘Thumbs Up’ from me.

Franchement excellent! J’ai essay des microphones de haute qualit et pour le prix celui-ci semblait mon oreille sonner tout autant, alors pourquoi payer une fortune pour une diffrence sonore quasi imperceptible. J’ai le Perception 120, sonorit plus claire, plus mtallique, bon pour la prise de son des guitares mais pour la voix, le P220 donne beaucoup plus de chaleur au vocal! J’suis trs contente de mon achat. Je le recommande.

Premetto che non ho mai provato un neumann ed e’ il mio primo mic a condensatore, pertanto non posso dare giudizi assoluti. Il mic e’ bello, pesante e ben curato nei dettagli. Ottimo il supporto antivibrazioni, in metallo solido. Cosa che non guasta anche la valigetta e’ fatta bene ed e’ necessaria per microfoni del genere.
Ho scelto questo perche’ ha la possibilita’ di cambiare il pattern, puo’ essere anche panoramico o bidirezionale.
In registrazione la differenza rispetto ad un dinamico si sente, e questo mic per me va bene. La voce non e’ caldissima (ripeto dovrei provare un neumann prima di dare giudizi), ma quello che si cerca in un mic e’ la risposta piatta, e con un minimmo di equalizzazione la voce e’ naturale e il risultato e’ ottimo. Certo credo che sia un entry level, ma per chi come me non ha un futuro da musicista professionista e’ un’ottima scelta. Consigliato.

Great quality microphone from a trusted brand. Solid feel & range of vocal patterns to choose from depending on your intended use.

It was a great buy for me good quality from what I had previously so very happy

Super increble, estoy muy contenta con mi compra, no tard en llegar y fue todo lo que esperaba. Para los que preguntan qu hace falta para que puedan usarlo, es solo su cable… Y si lo van a ocupar en computadora un interfaz con energa 48V. De lo contrario este tipo de micrfonos no funciona sin esa energa.

For the price, this mike is fantastic. I use it at various karaoke places I frequent. One KJ knows what he’s doing and the mike sounds great, the other guy about died because he was not fond of condenser microphones. The one that had a problem kept saying ‘but this is a condenser mike’ – and to be fair – he was working in a much smaller room and his speakers were right behind the microphones. But besides driving him to distraction the mike sounded ‘ok’ there, but was kind of ‘flat’. I think it was the adjustment and not the mike because it sounded great at the other place.

Bottom line, this mike produces a wonderful ‘clear’ sound. If your using it in a live environment, you need to have a sound man that knows what he’s doing. But the mike itself is great, especially for the price. I couldn’t afford the one’s for thousands of dollars. They might be better, but personally I can’t see how.

The quality of this microphone at it’s price point is fantastic. It feels solid and well built, and has so far not raised any complaints from clients and collaborators about sound quality. It’s just quietly going about doing its business, whilst I’ve saved myself a few quid. Very happy.

I am very impressed with this mic. I have been recording vocals in professional & home studios settings for about 25 years, and the quality of this mic is amazing by any standard. I have used $3k (Neumann U87) mics all the way down to $49 MXL’s (SP-1, v250, 990, v67, 910, 2006, etc.), and I’ve also used many dynamic mics as well, shure sm58, sennheiser e838, etc . This AKG is a great large diaphragm condenser mic & I have to say I prefer this over the others I’ve used…this just fits my voice like a glove. I have a raspy deep voice & this mic does my vocals justice without adding any “color” to it, it just sounds like me…and that’s exactly what I wanted. It is crisp & clear and warm. I will be testing it later with my tube pre amp and I’m sure it will sound even better. Right now I am running it through a tascam US 2×2 and it sounds great. So far I have tested it on rap vocals and rock vocals with excellent results. I barely have to touch the eq, if at all, this saves me time while mixing down a track. It comes with a very sturdy shock mount, heavy and solid…much better quality than the mxl shock mounts I’ve encountered. It also comes with a replacement band for the shock mount, an adapter for both size mic booms & an awesome case. The mic itself is pretty heavy, made of thick metal and the chrome grill with the matt black finish looks great. It has a bass rolloff switch and a -20db switch as well that can come in handy when recording electric guitar from an amp or something of that nature. Remember, you will need a 48v phantom power source for this mic. I would have expected to pay much more for this mic. Thank you AKG for another great product!
