AKG P220 High-Performance Large Diaphragm True Condenser Microphone

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.

Having owned a Rode NT1 which was about a hundred pounds dearer I wasn't expecting this one to be at the same level, having said that, all of my headphones (I have 3 sets) are AKG so I knew this mic was going to be good, I just didn't expect it to be better than the Rode. The Mic comes in a nice handy carry-case with Aluminium edges and corners, the shock mount is all metal construction and comes with a thread adapter, the mic is about as heavy as the NT1, all metal body and a very firm mesh grill. The -20db switch is in my opinion a bit too much, -10db would have been sufficient but that is my only reservation. The High pass (low cut) switch is really effective and you 'can' hear the difference. The sound quality is excellent with no discernible self-noise, without the Low cut switch it has a nice warm sound and you can hear the lower frequencies coming through, with the low cut on, it just makes the sound a bit brighter so if you have a deep or boomy voice just switch on the low cut switch, my voice tends to be around the mid range so the mic is perfect as it is. At this price point this is an absolute bargain and I would certainly put AKG mics on my shopping list next time, I have some excellent Rode ones for my voiceover and video work but I can see me buying into AKG mics in the future.

Great product! Good sound.

I bought this mic after researching various options on GS/Reddit. Using it solely for vocals and I'll be honest I didn't really like the way it sounded, had a thin quality to it on comparison to my KSM32, it also picks up a lot of room noise so if you aren't in the best treated room then maybe try something else. However YMMV. The switches are good, build quality of the mic, shockmount & case are great and my refund was accepted without an issue so top marks for that 👊 Feels kind of weird to say but even though it wasn't the mic for me it might well be for you so I still can't say it's a bad option.

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

Used to record viola. Professional result.

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.

great quality

I got this for around $180 with free delivery from the US. What a great price for this fantastic microphone. I use it for vocals for a bit of fun and I'm really enjoying it. Also, the microphone comes with shock mount and nicely packaged in a beautiful little box, which you can take around with you if you want to use it in different locations.

Tenía ganas de tener otro micrófono y de tipo condensador. Suelo usar el shure sm7b que es dinámico y quería probar el sonido de mi voz con uno de condensador de calidad media. Había leído mucho sobre los AKG y estuve a punto de pillar el 414 pero se iba mucho de presupuesto, así que me decidí por este que tiene buenas reseñas. Tiene un sonido genial, se nota mucho el brillo de voces y recoge muy bien hasta el último suspiro, se puede usar para muchos trabajos, no sólo de voces. Además viene con su araña/soporte, recambios de gomas, estuche y bien empaquetado en ese maletín duro. Una presentación genial. Con el tiempo le iré cogiendo el truco y sacarle el mejor partido.

This mic is absolutely wonderful! The sound and quality are top notch! Very happy with my purchase and definitely leveled up my recording sessions!

Ho acquistato questo microfono per il mio home studio. La consegna da parte di Amazon è stata rapidissima e anche il prezzo, più basso rispetto ad altri venditori on line, è stata una piacevole sorpresa. Il microfono si presenta molto solido e funziona benissimo. Rende la voce molto naturale, chiara e, allo stesso tempo, a mio avviso, "calda". Perfetto per la mia voce.

Good
