AKG’s new professional general-purpose condenser microphones

AKG Perception 100 / 200

Ground-breaking, high-quality AKG large-diaphragm recording microphones have defined the international studio standard for decades. The new PERCEPTION 100 and PERCEPTION 200 microphones are based on AKG’s nearly six decades of experience and from input provided by sound engineers around the world that use AKG products every day.

PERCEPTION microphones represent a new generation of AKG microphones with individual features and outstanding sonic characteristics. PERCEPTION microphones were designed by AKG's engineers in Vienna and are built in China under the rigorous control of AKG quality assurance. Therefore, these microphones conform to the stringent standards defined for AKG products and offer genuine AKG quality at high-value prices never seen before.

Both PERCEPTION models share many features in common: Rugged, die-cast metal housings, tasteful colours, nickel-plated grilles, clear placement of control elements, and rugged, gold-plated XLR connectors. PERCEPTION 100 and PERCEPTION 200 are true condenser cardioid microphones that require 48 V phantom power to deliver their classic warm and transparent sound.

PERCEPTION 200 is equipped with two additional filters: a switchable bass cut filter to reduce proximity effect, and a switchable –10dB pre-attenuation pad for use in high sound pressure level environments up to 145dB. The PERCEPTION 200 also comes with a deluxe spider-type shock-mount in a metal carrying case.

PERCEPTION microphones bring AKG studio-quality performance to all areas of recording, from project studios and live sound applications up to broadcast. Because of their exceptional robustness and high SPL capability, these microphones are also ideal for use in live and touring sound applications.

AKG’s Perception microphones are now available from authorised AKG retailers.

Helpful Hints

Headphones impedance
The two important electrical specifications for a pair of headphones are the impedance of the phone transducer itself and its on-the-ear sensitivity. So-called low impedance headphones may vary from 75 ohms up to about 150 ohms. Phones in this impedance range may be directly plugged into the headphone jack routinely found on recording and playback equipment. Higher impedances, such as 600 ohms, are more useful in studio installations where many units may be wired in parallel for studio monitoring applications. Headphone sensitivity is usually stated as the in-the-ear sound pressure level produced by one milliwatt (mW) of audio input. Typical sensitivity ratings of AKG headphones run from 88 dB per mW to 105 dB per mW. You can see that very little power is needed to drive a stereo headphone pair to very high listening levels.
