Be heard like never before with the P120 Condenser Microphone from AKG. This true condenser mic boasts a low-mass diaphragm, heavy-duty build quality, and delivers outstanding sound performance at an affordable price. Whether you’re recording in a project studio or the comfort of your own home, you’ll achieve great results with the P120.
This microphone’s 2/3-inch back electret diaphragm delivers a clear sound with accurate sonic detail, making it the ideal miking choice for vocals or instrument recording. In particular, the P120 is designed to optimize the sound of singing, speaking, and piano and strings. It’s also a great tool for other applications, ranging from live sound performances onstage to broadcasting and streaming audio.
The P120 has a cardioid polar pattern that helps you capture all the pristine audio you want while minimizing the backup noise you don’t. It also features a switchable bass-cut filter and switchable attenuation pad, so you have more options when it comes to sculpting how the mic captures your sound.
Building on AKG’s decades of experience, and taking into account expert feedback from sound engineers the world over, the P120 is a general-purpose microphone that’s anything but generic. Constructed of high-quality components that work together to make you sound your best, this mic meets AKG’s rigorous standards of testing to give you studio-quality results in an affordable, easy-to-use microphone.

About Condenser Microphones at Sound Productions
Achieve professional polish to your studio sound with condenser microphones from Sound Productions. A condenser microphone uses a capacitor that converts sound vibrations into electric currents. It is characterized by increased sound sensitivity than a dynamic mic, enabling it to capture more natural, detailed audio from vocals and instruments.
Use a large-diaphragm condenser mic (sometimes called a “capacitor mic”) to optimize the sound of vocals, acoustic guitar, and ambient room audio. Alternatively, choose a small diaphragm condenser mic (or “pencil mic”) for acoustic instruments including guitars, classical instruments, cymbals, and drum overheads. The smaller capsule and lightweight build make it easy to place perfectly in almost any miking application, while the consistent polar pattern makes a pair of small-diaphragm condenser mics the perfect choice for stereo miking.
Compared to the other popular option of dynamic microphones, condenser mics are louder, pick up a wider frequency response, and enjoy an expansive dynamic range—all aspects that make them ideal for studio recording.
