The AKG Perception 200 is a versatile, large-diaphragm "true" condenser microphone designed to deliver studio-quality performance for a wide range of recording applications. Featuring a 1-inch capsule and a classic cardioid polar pattern, this microphone is highly effective at capturing clear, detailed audio while rejecting off-axis noise. Its "true condenser" design (externally biased) provides a warm, transparent character often compared to higher-end AKG models.
Built to handle professional demands, the Perception 200 is equipped with two essential onboard switches: a -10dB pre-attenuation pad for recording loud sources like brass or drums without distortion, and a low-cut filter (12dB/octave at 300Hz) to eliminate unwanted rumble or compensate for proximity effect. Its rugged, die-cast metal body and nickel-plated steel grille ensure it can withstand the rigors of both project studio and live use.
This unit is in very good condition and has been professionally tested to ensure the capsule and electronics are performing at factory specs. The body shows typical light signs of use, but it is structurally sound and free of major cosmetic defects. Whether you are tracking lead vocals, acoustic guitar, or using it as a room mic, the Perception 200 remains a highly respected workhorse in the recording world.
