The AKG Perception 120 Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a low cost, efficient solution for recording vocals and instruments in home and project studios. The microphone's cardioid element provides a generous pickup area while minimizing off-axis noise and feedback from nearby monitors, instruments and other sources.
A low-frequency roll-off filter switch reduces hum, ambiance and other low-frequency noise. Also featured, is a 20dB Pad switch that maximizes headroom when capturing high volume sources such as percussion instruments, speaker cabinets, etc.

Comments about AKG Perception 120 Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone:
This thing is powerful. Clear sound, will record exactly what you put in. The downside is, it picks up everything, clearly. I have a lot of different mics, but I liked this one so well, for everything from vocals to instruments of any kind, that I bought another one. Can't beat the value.
