Review: BEST OVERALL MIC FOR RECORDINGS!!! (Recordings and even YOUTUBE!) - As a home recording artist, this mic definitely met my needs. For the longest time, I've owned the AKG Perception 120 (the old model), and I've never had a problem with this mic. The main reason to why I bought the P220 was so I can change my setup to have one mic for recording vocals (the P220) and the other mic for recording YouTube videos (Perception 120). The shock mount for the P220 is being used for the Perception 120, and it fits the mic perfectly. Both mics are basically the same size, so I figured that it would work. The build quality on the P220 is rugged and tough, and the functions are very simple. You have 2 main settings: the bass roll off, which is great if you want to record without having to deal with any unnecessary low end frequency that the mic picks up. The other setting cuts off the signal by 20db. From my experience, it's best use is if you have a noisy background, and you don't want that to bleed into the mic. It basically isolates the signal to only be heard right in front of the mic as opposed to everything in the environment. I would be lying if I said that were some things I don't like about it (because I simply LOVE AKG products) but for other people, this might be too simple of a mic compared to other more expensive mics. The sound of this mic is warmer and more direct than the AKG Perception 120, so I felt that it was better for recording vocals. However, the Perception 120 still crushes it in the studio. Some people might consider a different taste in sound compared to other mics, but for me, this mic suits my needs perfectly. The AKG Perception 120: AKG Perception P120 Professional Studio Microphone, Sliver So, here are my pros and cons: PROS: - inexpensive - simple settings - versatile (vocals, guitar, etc.) - rugged CONS (possible opinions of others): - too cheap - too simple (not enough settings) - not preferred taste of sound - too heavy

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the 420 and the 220?**
A: The 420 is a dual diaphragm microphone with 3 selectable polar patterns.  The 220 is a single, large diaphragm microphone.  This means the 420 is more versatile.  It can be used on vocals, instruments, cabinets, or as a room/atmospheric microphone.The 420 is, also, a bit more sensitive.

**Q: how do i record with this mic, on my macbook, using garage band. Does it bring a Usb to connect mic to laptop?**
A: The box doesn't contain any cables; it's just the mic and a shock mount. This is a purely analog device, and it connects via an XLR connection so you'll need an audio interface of some sort which supports XLR devices. As this is a condenser microphone, you'll need an audio interface which can also supply phantom power. A lot of simple cables which purport to connect XLR devices via USB don't supply any phantom power, so beware.

**Q: I want to use this as a church pulpit mic. Can I speak into it from 24 inches away and it still pick up strong?**
A: IF it is connected to a mixer/audio interface that has 48v phantom power, yes, you can definitely  speak from it, even at 2 feet away. that would require upping the gain though. But yes, defly you can. :)

**Q: Is this the newer p420 version or is it the discontinued one? it looks like the newer ones are labled p420 instead of "perception 420" like this one.**
A: Hi Benjamin,This listing is for the new P420. Looks like Amazon has an incorrect title. I'll submit a ticket to have that corrected.We do have the new AKG P420's in stock and that is what we will ship if ordered from us.Thanks!New World Pro Audio877-802-0416
