This Rugged Vocal Mic Fits Any Budget!

Whether you need a durable microphone you can use for your on-the-go PA system or a handful of inexpensive switchable microphones for your church's worship team, the AKG P 3 S handheld dynamic microphone is just what you're looking for. An easy-access switch lets you instantly mute and "unmute" the P 3 S with the flick of a thumb. A tough wire-mesh cap and an internal windscreen reduce breath noises and plosives - just what less-experienced vocalists and lecturers need. A rugged die-cast metal body also helps to keep the P 3 S safe from the frequent bumps and scrapes of routine live use, making it an excellent all-around performer that's built to last.

Great All-Purpose Microphone

by Dave from NW Missouri
May 15, 2012
Music Background: Singer-songwriter
I just purchased these last week to upgrade the Peavey microphones in my PA system, and spent the weekend A/B testing them against my MXL909 condensor that I use in recording.
Although the AKG ... read more [+]website recommends this microphone for back-up vocals and not lead vocals, I can say it does very well with lead vocals or vocals in harmony group settings [think the Lettermen, CSN, Kingston Trio, Statler Brothers, Oak Ridge Boys].
This also outperformed my MXL in recording. It produces a very clean even signal across it's frequency range. And because it is a dynamic microphone instead of a condensor , it doesn't require phantom power.
I even borrowed a Shure SM58 to compare it with and it outperformed the SM58 for evenness of response and clean reproduction of sound.
AKG has a well-earned rep for quality products at reasonable prices and this does not disappoint.
I'd recommend them to anyone seeking a high quality dynamic microphone and doesn't have a lot of money to spend. Even if one does have the money for higher priced mics--I'd recommend these, and with the money saved, take the spouse or significant other out for an evening. close [-]
