A great mic for every situation

NikMartken 02.11.2019

I was looking for a decent mic to use while busking and it turned out to be my first choice when I need to use something that works and must be reliable. I know there are better mics out there, but this one is simply perfect for what I have to do: it catches all my vocal shades, works perfectly outdoor as well as indoor and it has a good feedback control and is not picking up all the noise that cymbals and the cajon make.
Moreover... the price: hard to find all these aspects at this price point.

best buy mic in this price range for general use...

Panagiotis D. 10.04.2020

Good sounding microphone, if take in mind the price and the build quality is maybe the best buy mic in this price range for general use.

Καλό μικρόφωνο ηχητικά, εάν λάβετε υπόψη την τιμή και την ποιότητα κατασκευής είναι ίσως το καλύτερο μικρόφωνο σε αυτήν την τιμή για γενική χρήση.

Pick up pattern is very small

Sami4197 05.01.2015

In this mic the Pick up pattern is very "small sector".
I mean that the mic pics up from the front but if you forexample sing from a slight angle
to the head of the mic you get nothing out.
If you buy this mic. Please read before from the web about the different microphone patters.
we bought this for our drummers backup singing mic.
As we did not want a mic that would picup all the noise from the drums.

For lead singing i recommend more the Dynamic cardioid polar patterns,
That pickup pattern gives you much more natural voice.
For our backing vocals need the quality of the voice is not that important as in the lead singing.
The backing vocals in our case are stronly compressed and low in the mix.

Brilliant, opened, super!

Tiziano 20.01.2015

For the price of 41 euro I couldn't really imagine it.
Very handling microphones, they react excellently on Live situation due the hypercardiodid.
Very opened, not muddy at all.
Hand noise at the minimum, very well engineered.
Insensitive to the major plosives even without Pop Filter.

AKG Perception Live P5

Ann B. 09.01.2019

Another quality mic from Akg this is very good at rejecting feedback at high volume has good base /treble eq.
It is a step up from the Akg p3 which i have used live as a main mic with no trouble to me the p3 is still a very nice mic just the p5 is a little better recommended the akg p5 or the akg p3

This mic is more sensitive than Shure SM58. The sound is good, no lack or overload in frequencies. As for vocal - quite good and much cheaper than SM58. Reccomend!

Awesome talkback mic

timoilves 02.01.2019

I use this as FOH talkback mic. When you switch the switch, theres a bit of handling noise. Doesn't matter for my application though. Sounds clear and open.

Nothing special, basically if you are looking for a good sounding microphone with swich - this one could be it! Personally I use it for Talkback situations.

Low price - good quality!

DeTroiT 05.02.2015

I bought this microphone as a gift for my sister as she has ambitions on singing.
I compared it to the Shure PG58 as the pendant from Shure.
It has very pleasant highs and a cleaner low-end, compared to the PG58.
These attributes give the AKG perception also the obligation to be used in a recording environment. Even though the on/off Switches seem less common in professional live situations this feature is helpful in smaller Location when no soundman is around.
Compared to the SM58 there are differences in presence and Resolution but mention the price difference!
If used as a microphone for backround vocals the "less presence" can be a good Thing when it comes to stagger the voices behind each other.
