Review: Good sensitivity, really good build quality. - I'll start with the only negative - no case. I've bought this mic for a specific, and somewhat less common application - whole-room sound, specifically to feed into MaxMSP for processing into a sophisticated* sound-to-light application. I needed a microphone that's sensitive, flexible in application, and with no particular quirks or characteristics - and the P120 appears to be it. Most people seem to be doing whole-room recording with the internal mics on portable/pocket digital recorders (or phones) - if you want to try out an external mic, the P120 might be a good choice. By comparison with internal mics, it's large and heavy, and must be used with an arm or stand - it's also very well built - and AKG claim it's rugged (I think because it's actually an electret condenser internally). Monitoring through headphones (Grado SR80) tells me I'm getting a lovely sound too. (*using Max's fzero~ wavelet transform)
Review: Very nice microphone, this is a drop down in price ... - Very nice microphone, this is a drop down in price for me as I have a lot of much higher priced microphones but this was recommended to me by someone who is a podcaster so I bought one to try. I now use this one only for my podcasts and my voiceovers on videos. It is so good I cannot believe it only cost so little. It has a 20db pad and a bass roll off switch. I record with it in the - 0 with the bass roll off on, this mic requires Phantom power and is an XLR microphone. I also use it with a pop filter. It is plugged into a DBX 286s which goes into a Focusrite 2i2 which then goes into an Imac. I find this combination of equipment makes the Mic sound very professional and studio quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What mic arm can i use to attach the akh p120 microphone to my desk? i've been searching fort ages and idk which one to buy :)**
A: Acelectronic Desktop Mic Studio... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VURD8JW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

**Q: Can you use with Xbox**
A: Not out of the box. You would need an audio interface with xlr inputs. I think they do a USB version but I would check if it works with xbox

**Q: Is this good for home use , no studio just to record audio for voice over at home.**
A: Yes it would work at home it's not just a studio device, I use it for Zoom and recording to Reason. There are a couple to things you need to know, first it's a XLR connector so wouldn't be able to connect directly to a computer; second it requires 48V phantom power so you'll need a mixing desk or interface to connect it to that can provide this. It you're doing voice overs at home I'd go for a mic that has a direct USB connection to you computer. This works pretty well one of my friends has one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Marantz-Professional-MPM-1000U-Microphone-Podcasting/dp/B01GHOM67W/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=marantz+mic&qid=1603630050&sr=8-3

**Q: Does this microphone come with a stand and xlr's etc. I'm not seeing this information anywhere. I see a clip of some sort in photo 3 but no info on it**
A: Comes with the mic holder (clip ) but not cable or stand

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound, needs something from you though.
*by D***O on 16 February 2020*

I'm an aspiring voiceover artist, and after a few false starts and trying to "cheap out" using Blue Snowballs or Neewar condensers, I decided to take the step up in audio quality. After reading around online I settled on the AKG p120 as it seemed like good value for money from a reputable brand. Now, the sound quality is phenomenal when used in conjunction with a behringer mixer and soundcard interface, but you really have to work for it. Anyone that knows what they're doing with regards to sound recording will know how to utilise a condenser mic correctly, but they'd probably be using higher spec and higher priced kit. For those uninitiated, be prepared to put some work in to get clean recordings, things like familiarising yourself with your interface and software are essential, you need to understand that condensors are very sensitive and need you approach them with a great deal of care and attention. That said, I'm astounded with the level of sound I've been able to get out of this mic, I intend to give voiceover a good old colleague try and I think this can really help me get my start. I've had to adjust my set up to eliminate other sounds from the room in which I record but have been able to capture the nuance of my voice and a little guitar to astounding detail. In short, if you're very adept at recording with condenser mics. I think this will suit you well, the clarity is brilliant. However if this is your first step into the realm of capturing sound, prepare to put the work in (by watching YouTube channels such as Booth Junkie or Podcastage) and you will be deftly rewarded. If, indeed you just want a clean recording for youtube voiceover or streaming. This is way overkill.
