From Our Research Team:

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.

AKG P 3 S Handheld Dynamic Microphone Features at a Glance:
  • Handheld cardioid dynamic microphone designed for backing vocals and instruments
  • Rugged wire-mesh cap with internal windscreen
  • Die-cast metal body with built-in mute switch

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 [-]

Very UnderRated BARGAIN SOUND

by kaybee from nyc
September 27, 2012
Music Background: sound engineer, live location recordings
IF this mic were 90 dollars, it can sell on merit of sound
for LIVE and RECORDING too !
we like it better than sm 57 or sm 58 for many situations.

we have successfully re... read more [+]corded ( 2 feet away ! ) viola and violins
and even brass and woodwinds with this thing !
VERY GOOD ALL ROUNDER and REALLY nice
for female and male vocals too !

the akg D5 is even better...but after that, for example
the akg d7, becomes diminishing returns, unless u got a really clean
signal chain....

AKG is one of the best bargains out there...
and it starts with this low price P 3 !!!
u wont sell it , thats for sure, even if you got far more expensive mics,
bec this mic has its place in warmth

enjoy the music ! dont get toooo serious !
