- OFFERS 3 SWITCHABLE PICKUP PATTERNS - The AKG P420 condenser microphone features multiple polar pattern: Cardioid for standard vocal/instrument recording, Figure-8 for M/S stereo recording or when you want to record two sound sources facing each other. You can place the P420 mic on cymbal overheads. The last setting is the Omnidirectional, which records the ambience. The Omni pickup is best to use for far-field miking.
- PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HEADROOM - You can switch on the preattenuation pad on the microphone's rear to increase its headroom by 20dB. This prevents your mic's output from overloading.
- REDUCES LOW-END DISTORTION - Select the Bass Cut Filter when you want to minimize the proximity effect of closed-in miking and distortion caused by wind noise.
- HANDLES HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS - The P420 condenser microphone is capable of up to 155dB SPL. You can use this on loud sources without introducing perceptible distortion to your recording.
