Review: AKGのC3000を気に入って使用していましたが、高音ノイズが入るようになり、代わりがすぐ必要だったので購入しました。驚くほどノイズがなくてもっと早く買えば良かったなと思いました。他に細かい点は気にならないのですが、個人的には音質もクリアで特に不満はないです。ナレーション録りに使用しています。 ケースが付いているので保管と移動時にとても助かるので気に入っています。 ショックマウントが大きいなと思いました。今までのものよりもちょっと使いにくい(マイクをはめにくい)なぁと感じています。 最初に届いた時に、重い！と感じました。(他のコンデンサーと比べて)マウントが大きいので、わりとかさばるかな。
Review: 今までiPhone純正のマイクで録音していて、 その後に安いSHUREのマイクを購入したのですが、ぶっちゃけiPhone純正のほうが音よかったんでマイクなんてそんなものかな？ と思っていたのですが、友人のおすすめでこちらを騙されたつもりで購入したところ、めちゃめちゃクリアに音を拾ってくれてレコーディングしやすくなりました！！

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the 420 and the 220?**
A: The 420 is a dual diaphragm microphone with 3 selectable polar patterns.  The 220 is a single, large diaphragm microphone.  This means the 420 is more versatile.  It can be used on vocals, instruments, cabinets, or as a room/atmospheric microphone.The 420 is, also, a bit more sensitive.

**Q: how do i record with this mic, on my macbook, using garage band. Does it bring a Usb to connect mic to laptop?**
A: The box doesn't contain any cables; it's just the mic and a shock mount. This is a purely analog device, and it connects via an XLR connection so you'll need an audio interface of some sort which supports XLR devices. As this is a condenser microphone, you'll need an audio interface which can also supply phantom power. A lot of simple cables which purport to connect XLR devices via USB don't supply any phantom power, so beware.

**Q: I want to use this as a church pulpit mic. Can I speak into it from 24 inches away and it still pick up strong?**
A: IF it is connected to a mixer/audio interface that has 48v phantom power, yes, you can definitely  speak from it, even at 2 feet away. that would require upping the gain though. But yes, defly you can. :)

**Q: Is this the newer p420 version or is it the discontinued one? it looks like the newer ones are labled p420 instead of "perception 420" like this one.**
A: Hi Benjamin,This listing is for the new P420. Looks like Amazon has an incorrect title. I'll submit a ticket to have that corrected.We do have the new AKG P420's in stock and that is what we will ship if ordered from us.Thanks!New World Pro Audio877-802-0416
