The AKG P420 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone with switchable polar patterns, high sensitivity and huge SPL handling, making it a workhorse mic for your project studio. With a neutral midrange and a slightly accented high-frequency response, the P420 will have your vocals and acoustic guitars sitting beautifully on top of the mix without the need for additional EQ. A switchable high-pass filter and -20dB pad make the P420 a great choice for recording loud amps and drums up close, giving you a crystal clear, bright sound at any distance.
