In 2005 AKG launched the very first Perception models – a completely new
series of microphones showing legendary AKG sound and quality at an attractive
price level. In 2008 the new Perception Series continued this success story with
four new models. Since April 2009 the highly anticipated Perception 820 Tube
microphone is not only the brand-new flagship model of the Perception Series but
also raises the bar in its class of affordable tube microphones.
The Perception 120 USB is the very first USB-equipped microphone from AKG,
offering studio-quality sound performance without requiring any installation or
drivers. With the widespread USB standard and its ease of use, this new model
allows users without any recording experience to make professional-quality
recordings from their home. It is a real plug-and-play device enabling customers
to do podcasts, voiceovers and studio-quality rehearsal-recordings quickly and
easily.
The USB is a widely known interface for audio equipment like sound cards, active
monitors and outboard equipment, which makes the Perception 120 USB one of the
most versatile microphones available.
n its class, the Perception 120 USB is the only USB microphone with an
integrated analogue-to-digital converter with 24-bit and 128x oversampling.
Instead of usual one-chip-solutions the high-quality analogue-to-digital
converter provides convincing sound quality and low noise.
The Perception 120 USB includes a two-third-inch condenser capsule with a
low-mass diaphragm delivering accurate sonic details, an integrated pop filter
that avoids plosives, a switchable bass cut filter and an attenuation switch. It
supports Windows XP, Windows Vista and MAC OS X but also the new Windows 7.
The Perception 120 USB comes complete with everything you need: a tripod table
stand, a swivel mount, a quick start guide and an USB cable.
