Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone

AKG Perception 100 Features:

• Cardioid polar pattern
  The microphone is most sensitive to signals from the front whilst picking up less signal from the sides or the rear (from monitor speakers or neighboring instruments). This makes the microphone equally suited for recording and onstage use.
• All-metal body:
  The all-metal body adds to the rejection of RF interference so you can use the microphone near transmitter stations and along with wireless microphones or other communications equipment. The extremely rugged, heavy body and sturdy front grill protect the microphone from damage from tough handling on stage.
• High headroom, minimum distortion
  Capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 135 dB without introducing perceptible distortion and built to resist high temperatures and humidity, the microphone will give excellent results in a wide range of applications.
• Bass cut filter
  reduces low-end distortion caused by footfall or wind noise, etc. The filter also minimizes the proximity effect that close-in miking causes in any unidirectional microphone.
• Preattenuation pad
  lets you increase the headroom by 10 dB for distortion-free close-in recording. The pad prevents the microphone's output level from overloading many mixer input stages, etc.
