The AKG P220 large diaphragm condenser microphone offers a warm and clear sound that is made to soar whether used for lead vocals, acoustic guitar, or brass instruments. All the excellent features of the P220 make it the favorite choice in AKG’s Project Studio Line.
The cardioid polar pattern in the P220 microphone captures the sound source you’re aiming for without picking up extra sounds onstage or in the crowd.
Handle loud sound sources with the P220 microphone. A switchable bass-cut filter and attenuation pad on the P220 allows it to withstand sound pressure levels up to 155dB.
In addition to loud SPL handling, the P220 has a rugged and roadworthy design that makes it a perfect choice for on-stage applications. It also comes with a spider-type shock mount and an aluminum carrying case so you can set up to meet your needs.

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.
