From Our Research Team:

Plug and Play Access to Awesome AKG Sound!

A new direction for a microphone legend! The Perception 120 USB is the first-ever USB microphone, from a company with a long and storied history of making some of the best microphones in the business. And the microphone the Perception 120 USB stems from — the Perception 120 — has a following of its own, widely recognized as one of the best bang-for-your buck microphones for capturing vocals (or even loud instruments, thanks to its high tolerance for loud sound sources). If your budget affords you just one really good microphone for do-it-all recording, and you're hoping for plug-and-play USB convenience, this is it. This mic is ideal for podcasters, voiceover talent, and anyone who wants to capture a rehearsal or meeting without the fuss.

To tip the AKG Perception 120 USB microphone into all-star value, AKG added accessories you'll appreciate. There's a tripod table stand and a swivel mount, so you can get your microphone in the perfect position on your desktop. And the USB cable comes with it, so you can plug into your Mac or PC and get going straight away. For good measure, AKG also gave the Perception 120 USB a switchable bass-cut filter, so you can keep wind noise or other strange rumbling out of your recordings. And you can use the switchable pad when you need to get this microphone up close to loud instruments. Equipped with everything you need, and ready when you need it — that's the AKG Perception 120 USB!

AKG Perception 120 USB Microphone Features at a Glance:
  • Plug-and-play USB microphone (no installation, no drivers, no reboot required)
  • Supports Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS
  • Integrated high-quality A/D Converter (24-bit) for convincing sound quality and low noise
  • ⅔" condenser capsule with a low-mass diaphragm delivers sonic details
  • Switchable bass-cut filter reduces mechanical vibration and wind noise
  • Switchable attenuation pad for close-up miking and loud instruments
  • Blue LEDs indicate operation
  • Integrated pop filter avoids plosives effectively
  • Tripod table stand, swivel mount and USB cable included
  • Designed and engineered in Vienna, Austria

The Perception 120 makes it easier than ever to get that AKG sound quality into your recordings!

The item works as suggested for the application. The pick-up is more than expected during the meetings and training. This has put the participation back to the distance learning envirnoment.

The best customer service I've ever received. Never has there been a better buying experience. Sweetwater is always my number one choice for all my needs. The customer service and general reliability is relaxing and just amazing.
