Lovely microphone
by .. ()
I was using a USB headset microphone for my LibriVox volunteer work. A few weeks ago, I upgraded to this AKG Perception 120 condenser microphone.
It is awesome. It sounds warm and full and has an overall beautiful sound. I'm very happy with this microphone. I should have upgraded a long time ago.
One warning: be sure to purchase a stand in the same order. I ordered my stand separately, so I had to hold the microphone while I used it for the first few days. It's a heavy piece of equipment, and my arms got tired very quickly.
