## Description

Product Description The AKG P170 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for recording overheads, percussion, acoustic guitars, and other stringed instruments. It features a 1/2-inch true condenser transducer diaphragm, which provides exceptional clarity and transient response. With its cardioid polar pattern, the P170 focuses on the sound source while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for both studio and live settings. This microphone boasts a wide frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz, ensuring accurate sound reproduction across various instruments. Its high SPL handling capability makes it suitable for recording loud sources such as drums and brass instruments. Additionally, the switchable -20 dB pad allows users to reduce sensitivity when capturing high-volume sounds, preventing distortion and ensuring clean audio. Built with a rugged all-metal design, the P170 is durable and well-suited for professional use in demanding environments. It operates on 44–52V phantom power and connects via a balanced XLR output (3-pin, male). Measuring 160 mm in length and weighing 130 g, it remains compact and easy to position. The AKG P170 is an excellent choice for musicians, producers, and engineers looking for an affordable yet high-quality condenser microphone. Its ability to deliver detailed and natural sound makes it a valuable tool for recording drum overheads, acoustic instruments, and brass or woodwind sections with precision and warmth. Set Contains: 1 x P170 Microphone; 1 x Stand Adapter

Review: Perfect instrument microphone, picks up finest details. Needs phantom power. - Great for picking ip fine details, especially from instruments. Note that it's a condenser microphone, so it won't work if the amp/audio interface that it's plugged into does not supply phantom power. Connects with a female XLR cable end. Make sure your amp that you intend to use it with has an XLR socket that supplies phantom power. If routing through an audio interface/mixer, the device should connect via an XLR socket and must have the ability to supply phantom power to the mic.
Review: Si lo encuentras disponible a precio decente, ¡CÓMPRALO! - No lo dudes, solo hazlo, no te vas a arrepentir. Yo compré uno principalmente para voz, pero es muy versátil, y me gustó tanto que a los 5 meses compré otro para poder hacer grabaciones en estéreo, o grabar dos voces secundarias a la vez. La tonalidad que produce es excelente, con cuerpo y brillo, y sin tener un exceso de frecuencias medias como muchos otros, que para mí es super importante. Totalmente recomendado para voz y/o instrumentos, además es bastante portable por su tamaño, en caso de que necesites grabar fuera de tu estudio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cardioide a piccolo diaframma
*by C***N on 22 October 2019*

Avevo già uno di questi microfoni acquistato da circa un anno… il prezzo è rimasto sostanzialmente invariato, sui 70/80 Euro. Tra i vari microfoni a cardioide provati negli anni, in questa fascia di prezzo (sia a grande che piccolo diaframma) posso senz'altro testimoniare che l'AKG P170 ha una risposta che lo colloca decisamente in una fascia di prestazioni maggiore. Certo conta molto il gusto personale e l'uso che si fa di queste apparecchiature. Io registro voce e chitarre acustiche utilizzando una scheda audio collegata al computer e utilizzando una daw per poter poi avere accesso a regolazioni di eq. La traccia diretta registrata è già ben equilibrata e rappresenta un buon inizio sul quale operare qualche intervento migliorativo: si ottengono chitarre e voci ben definite e naturali. La fattura costruttiva è curata nell'estetica e i materiali sono di pregio. Un bel microfono anche da vedere. Peso e ingombro contenuti permettono di tenerlo costantemente sulla scrivania sorretto da un braccio snodabile che si può comprare a parte. Anche i filtri antipop che si vedono nelle foto non sono compresi nella confezione: io li uso più che altro per proteggere la capsula dalla polvere… in quanto all'utilità degli stessi per la registrazione, la differenza tra ”con e senza” è praticamente nulla. Adesso ho due di questi microfoni che lavorano in coppia simultaneamente e credo che anche questo sia un ulteriore piccolo passo avanti verso registrazioni sempre più curate… siamo nel campo dell'home recording, per quanto mi riguarda però non escludo che questo microfono possa fare bella figura anche in utilizzi più “advanced”. Consegna a razzo… un paio di giorni, ma io vivo in località piuttosto isolata.
