AKG has launched the Perception 170 condenser microphone set.

Consisting of two factory-matched, small-diaphragm cardioid condenser mics, the P170 Stereo Set extends both the Perception Series and studio sets from the Vienna-based microphone manufacturer.

Designed for the project recording and live club market, each pair is selected from a large quantity of individual mics to create a matched pair that enables stunning and convincing studio recordings. ‘AKG has helped artists achieve great musical success with studio sets, from our C414 and C214 to the C451,’ says Thomas Stubics, Product Marketing Manager for Recording & Broadcast. ‘The P170 Stereo Set will bring convincing sound when used in the home, studio or in a small club at an affordable price. With the P170 Stereo Set, musicians and sound engineers will be able to record a true, convincing stereo sound, backed by the quality and reliability of AKG.’

At €199 in Europe, the P170 Stereo Set offers high SPL capability and is the only set with an attenuation pad for loud instruments as drums or brass.
