AKG P5i Vocal Dynamic Microphone

Enjoy quality performance that feels custom-made to your lead vocals with the AKG P5i vocal dynamic microphone. This high-performance microphone handles even the loudest stages, making sure the lead vocals soar.

The supercardioid polar pattern in the P5i is perfect for lead vocals, especially on crowded stages. Tighter than even a cardioid polar pattern, the supercardioid polar pattern in the P5i focuses narrowly on sound directly in front of the microphone, ensuring other musicians on stage or crowd noise won’t get picked up. This also helps the P5i achieve the utmost gain before feedback.

With the P5i you get more than just a standard microphone. HARMAN ioSYS technology is embedded, offering benefits during setup and performance. This technology streamlines setup by automatically configuring with the HARMAN Connected PA app and ecosystem. After setup, the HARMAN ioSYS technology offers instant recall of performer and presets, making the P5i feel customized exactly to you. More than a standard microphone, the P5i helps you spend less time setting up and altering settings and more time focusing on the music.

Sonic performance can handle loud stages; physical construction makes sure the P5i can handle those same stages without damage. The P5i is made of a heavy-duty metal body that can stand up to tough stage performances, and an integrated windscreen helps the mic limit pop and wind noise.

About Dynamic Microphones at Sound Productions

If you’re looking for an all-purpose, heavy-duty microphone, look no further than a dynamic microphone. Equally outstanding in both the studio and live on stage, dynamic mics are an affordable, versatile, and classic option for nearly every miking application. Popular uses include live performances, studio recordings, man-on-the-street style interviews, as well as podcasts that aim for a professional “radio voice” polish.

Dynamic microphones work using a coil attached to a magnet. When sound waves cause the coil to vibrate up and down against the magnet, an electromagnetic current is induced; in simple terms, this turns the sound into an electronic signal to be channeled into a recorded version or—in the case of live sound—into a speaker to distribute the sound to the audience.
