About the AKG Perception 170
Classic AKG performance
Classic AKG performance
The AKG Perception 170 condenser microphone can deliver clean, accurate sound reproduction. This small-diaphragm mic is great for percussion. It offers similar sonic performance to AKG's legendary C451 B, a favorite with recording engineers and sound men. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for overhead miking.
Accurate sound under extreme conditions
The P170 features an all-metal body designed for rough handling. Its sound pressure level capability of 155dB ensures you can close-mike high-energy sound sources — like drums or amps. Yet it's equally effective with acoustic guitar and strings. AKG's transformerless preamp minimizes distortion. And the mic's switchable high-pass filter effectively gets rid of unwanted rumble and wind noise.
