AKG P420 High-Performance Dual Capsule True Condenser XLR Microphone, Black

I’ve been using the AKG P420 in my home studio for 3 years now with my IPAD pro + Focusrite Amp, and it’s honestly one of the best value condenser mics I’ve come across. It’s incredibly versatile, thanks to its three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—which makes it suitable for everything from solo vocals to room ambience and instrument ensembles.🎙️ Sound Quality & PerformanceThe sound is clean, warm, and detailed, with a flat frequency response that works well for vocals, acoustic instruments, and even drums. It handles high sound pressure levels (up to 155 dB SPL) without distortion, which is great for loud sources like guitar amps or percussion.🔧 Build & FeaturesThe mic feels solid with its all-metal body, and it comes with a shock mount and a padded case, which is a nice bonus at this price point. The -20 dB pad and low-cut filter are super useful for managing proximity effect and background rumble.🔊 Noise & SensitivityIt has low self-noise (15 dB-A), making it suitable for quieter sources too, though it performs best in a treated room. You’ll need phantom power and an audio interface with XLR input, as this is a true condenser mic.

Nice. Worth the money.

Excellent product. Voice is crisp and clean. Highly sensitive, consider treating the room. Sturdy and comfortable to use though.

As a singer and music Producer this microphone is worth the money and it comes with Case and shock Mount. It’s a value for money. But remember it’s heavy then other microphones and Sound Quality is 8/10. But with some EQ you Can tweak the frequencies And make it 10/10. it’s worth to have this microphone in collections or For regular use.

Purchased 4 years back and writing review today. Very much budget microphone and it has 3 polar patters which are very handy and also no other brand provides you these functionalities in these price range.

I have been using this microphone for just a little over 3 yrs... It used to be good but now it is giving problems... There are issues with audio record volume..its coming so low that I can't even hear it unless I crank it up in the music software... I tried contacting these guys... Even got a number of a certain ECHO Media from their website and when I called them to see if it can be looked at.. They tell me that this is a replacement only product and they won't repair it... Even though I requested they told me this is the policy.. If it is under warranty they will replace it for you.. Otherwise you can pretty much throw it in the trash can for all they care...

It is a great product, I got it in 9k, according to that this product is very good It's a little difficult to find faults with that amount which I am got it.Still I tell you in easy and simple language if you are male singer and you have a thin voice texture go for Audio Technica AT2020.Everyone has their own choice but I personally do not like the texture or sound of the vocals specially on male singer who have thin voice. I felt great on female voicesit's a very small con.if you're a beginner So these things you won't even notice It doesn't mean that this mic is bad it doesn't sound good it is a wonderful microphone like I said Every person has their own choice.This is my personal opinion
