Ex-professional musician - now just for fun.

Unbelievable compared to others at this price!

I was going to buy a Shure SM58 and just happened to ask my sales engineer AJ Peterson if there was anything else in the $100 price range that was possibly better. I've used SM58's for years, and what a difference! Only thing is you need phantom power and I wouldn't use it on-stage (although you could in a pinch). It's got a switch for a rumble filter and a 20 dB pad for micing amps, drums, etc. Actually, I used the pad to mic a tambourine because it was peaking all over the place. Great product! And it looks expensive!

Great Mic To Start Recording With!

At the end of the day the Perception 120 is a good quality vocal mic, great for a small production studio or simply messing around with recording technique. It's a sturdy mic, with useful pad and filter controls, and ya know what? With a bit of compression, a pop filter, and a shockmount, it sounds damn good. Buy it.

Our Customers Say...

“Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.”
