  • Fantastic mic - once I “fixed” it!
I really like this microphone. Stunningly good build quality, great shock mount, selectable polar pattern, and a really good case. However, when I got it, it put out a pretty loud 60Hz hum that got much worse when my hand got near the mic. It was upsetting, because I thought it was a poor quality mic. I even went through the return process and got a RMA from Amazon. Then I noticed that when I wiggled the XLR cable a little bit, sometimes the hum went away, and the mic sounded really good. On a whim, I took the housing off the bottom, which wasn’t difficult. Basically just unscrewed and removed the bottom ring. I didn’t “do” anything inside the mic, and I didn’t unscrew the capsule or remove the basket. I put it back together, and it’s been perfect ever since. No noise, no wiggling the XLR cable. And the sound is great for my needs. I’m not sure what changed when I disassembled it, but something definitely did. I bought it as an inexpensive way to add a figure-of-eight pattern for use in mid-side recordings, but it sounds really good in the cardioid pattern. Overall, this is a great value for a durable microphone that sounds very good. ... show more

  • An Incredible Mic
The media could not be loaded. First off, I do voiceovers and voiceacting as a second job. The one thing that seemed to be impacting the quality of work I was landing was the noisiness of my recording setup. While I use a very good USB, the AudioTechnica ATR2020, every fan my workstation used was in the background. I created a custom recording booth lined with sound proofing tiles and a cover, still heard all the noise. Switch to a laptop to see if the problem was ambient sound or mic sound - boom, it was the digital sound through the mic. Once I did a lot of testing, I decided to try an xlr with an xlr to usb input. I tried a couple, wasn't happy with the vocal tones or the noise levels, then I took a chance on this one since it was on sale and under my budget limit. With this and the Neewer xlr to usb converter, it worked perfectly. Barring me forgetting to turn on the xlr converter - powered, by the way - I've had no problems with it. The sound quality goes well with my alto voice and despite living off a busy main street, the directionality is perfect at keeping noises outside the house off my recording. I use an Altron pop filter enclosure to keep things as silent as possible and have been very happy with the overall vo results. And so have my clients because bookings are the real metric for me. Less auditions + better clients = win. You still need to know how to clean your noise levels but all in all, just a fantastic mic for midlevel vo actors or podcasters. ... show more

  • AKG P420
This is a great microphone for the price! AKG makes them solid. The P420 is a condenser mic that needs phantom power. There is a polar pattern switch for cardioid, omnidirectional or figure 8 and a 0 -20db and bass cut filter switch too. The frequency response is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. There's a gold sputtered diaphragm on one side to prevent shorting to the back electrode. It comes with a nice carrying case and a real shock mount. This microphone gives you many options for different instruments and applications. I use it with other microphones and it works really well. I think it's great on acoustic guitar, drum overheads, vocals or just a room mic just put it in the back of the studio. Of course there are cheaper and more expensive microphones out there, and people will achieve different sounds with the same microphone. It just depends on what it's used for and what's applied to the sound. ... show more

  • Good mic
This mic sounds just as good as one half it’s price. The case was awesome, but the sound quality on this thing isn’t anything special. No complaints. It is a good mic

  • Amazing large diaphram microphone
This is my second AKG microphone and I couldn't be happier. I have used the first one for both capturing music as well as doing voice overs and I needed a second one for doing multiple voice overs. This one I just purchased sounds even better than the one I bought more than 10 years ago. If I ever need a third, I'll be buying another AKG. ... show more
