One of the basic rules of recording is that the quality of the recorded signal isdetermined by the weakest link in the signal chain. Today, any microphone needsto match the high quality of 24-bit recording media.One of the most important requirements for the C 2000 B was therefore highsensitivity. This allows you to lay clean, noise-free tracks with no risk of noiselevels from many individual tracks combining in the mix. Its high SPLcapability makes the C 2000 B a highly versatile microphone that can be usedeven for extremely loud instruments. The C 2000 B will give perfect results fordemo recordings, in the rehearsal room, as well as in the best recording studios.

The AKG Blue Line is a moderately-priced modular condenser microphone system with extraordinary performance and flexibility. With fivedifferent microphone capsules and lots of accessories to choose from, you can customize a Blue Line system to get perfect results on anyrecording or sound reinforcement job.The basic element of the Blue Line system is the SE 300 B preamp module that transforms the phantom power for the capsule and matches the output impedance to your mixer. The SE 300 B uses AKGs High Density Surface Mount Device electronics to deliver highersensitivity, lower noise, better phase and frequency response plus lower distortion than older designs. The transformerless outputelectronics preserve the full fidelity of the audio spectrum and has extremely low LF distortion. Each precision AKG mic capsule has activetransducers with ultra-low mass, gold-sputtered diaphragms. The bayonet coupling system on the SE 300 B and each capsule makes iteasy to change modules even under difficult conditions and has self-cleaning contacts to maintain perfect signal integrity even after yearsof use in hostile environments.

In 2005 AKG has launched the very first Perception models A completelynew series of microphones showing legendary AKG Sound & Quality at an attractive price level. In 2008 the new Perception Series continued this successstory with four new models. In April 2009 the highly anticipated Perception820 Tube microphone is not only the new flagship model of the PerceptionSeries but also raises the bar in its class of affordable tube microphones.

The Perception 120 USB is the very first USB-equipped microphonefrom AKG, offering studio-quality sound performance without requiring anyinstallation or drivers. With the widespread USB standard and its ease ofuse, this new model allows users without any recording experience to makeprofessional-quality recordings from their home. It is a real plug-and-playdevice enabling customers to do podcasts, voiceovers, and studio-qualityrehearsal-recordings quickly and easily.The USB is a widely known interface for audio equipment like sound cards, activemonitors and outboard equipment, which makes the Perception 120 USB oneof the most versatile microphones available.



Weave (D), 03/2010What you get is good sound quality and low ambient noise. The new affordable

AKG Perception 120 USB is the editors choice. This condenser microphoneshowing an USB interface is available as Plug-and-Play-Package which comescomplete with a robust tripod and a sufficient long cable. Especially the lownoise of this microphone is convincing in its price range. The integrated wind-screen and pop filter reduces breath noise and plosives surprisingly well.

Flashforum.de (D), 03/2010Even for small purses the production of good quality podcasts is nolonger a problem because the ingredients for a good sound areclear: in addition to a PC and the corresponding software only a

microphone is necessary. The most uncomplicated and cost-effective variantsinclude a USB port prepared to plug-and-play because usually the correspon-ding drivers are already part of the operating system. This is also true for theAustrian AKGs brand new Perception 120 USB we have tested.The sound quality of this condenser microphone is really convincing. The pop filter provides excellent suppression of breath and pop sounds without compromis-ing the sound quality. And considering the expected street price of 150 the noisefloor is unequalled. AKG provides an impressive overall package that evenincludes a convenient tripod as well as a sufficiently long USB cable.

The C 544 L is a head-worn miniature condenser microphone with a convenientbehind-the-neck headband. The microphone has a cardioid polar pattern and therefore prefers sounds arriving from the front (the users mouth).The microphone body containing the condenser transducer is shock mountedon the microphone arm in order to suppress cable and mechanical noise. Themicrophone arm will place the microphone in front of the corner of your mouth tominimize pop noise and protect the microphone from contamination. The supplied windscreen makes the microphone even less susceptible to wind and pop noise.A special moisture shield on the microphone capsule makes it difficult for moistureand makeup to penetrate into the microphone. This barrier prevents the microphonesound entries from being clogged by sweat or makeup which would make thesound dull and reduce the sensitivity of the microphone. Therefore, never removethe moisture shield from the microphone.
