In an introduction that couples studio mic performance with desktop convenience and versatility, AKG presents the Perception 120 USB Microphone, the company’s first USB-equipped microphone.
The Perception 120 USB is a plug-and-play device, capable of working with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X, as well as new Windows 7. It integrates a high-quality analog-to-digital converter (24-bit, 128x oversampling) for convincing sound quality and low noise.
“The new USB-equipped Perception 120 USB microphones will extend AKG’s successful Perception range,” said Thomas Stubics, AKG’s Product Marketing Manager for Recording and Broadcast. “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.”
The Perception 120 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 comes with a tripod table stand, a swivel mount and an USB cable.
