AKGP170 High-Performance Instrumental Condenser Microphone

The media could not be loaded. It works. It’s cheap and small which is what I needed. Obviously it’s not better than Earthworks or DPA but you can get a pretty decent result with some EQ. Totally worth it. Ps: the mic clip that it comes with is not that great or adaptable. Just buy another mic clip.

Used on a couple of recordings, work well and sound really good, great for the price.

used this on both bass and kick drums galore, sounds amazing. what’s actually underrated is how well it picks up high end - when recording slap this really brings out the pops without making it too harsh. overall amazing mic, great purchase for anyone looking to start recording at home/with a band

Initially bought one of these for recording acoustic guitar. Was immediately struck by how quiet it was compared to my other "entry level" mics; no self-noise appearing until you crank the gain up past 90%, even then it's still quiet. Sound is great, and depending on the distance from your source you can get everything from intimate & direct through to big and roomy sounds - all captured faithfully.It also works well for recording loud guitar amps. I've tested it side-by-side with a condenser mic (CM25 MkIII) and there's no discernible difference in tone. The pad switch seems handy, but haven't had to use it yet.Was curious about stereo recording, so bought a set of matched RØDE M5s, but those were comparatively pretty noisy & tinny, so returned them and bought a second P170. Even though they're not 'matched' there's no obvious difference in output or tone (bought 5 months apart) - and they work fantastically on a stereo bar in standard stereo configurations.They're very slim, quite long, and feel quite sturdy and high-quality. The mount provided fits well, but you could probably knock it out accidentally with little force.Overall, very impressed with these mics.

This lightweight and well constructed condenser microphone was a nice choice as a discord microphone, when I moved away from a headset with a microphone.It is clear and bright, and has a great pickup from 2 feet away, using a large wind shield on a broadcaster arm.Would make a perfect addition to any studio, or in my case, a good premium choice for an XLR communication microphone.

Used to record acoustic guitars. Did a great job.

Great on my little bass amp!

Buy them: they work wonderfully.Well constructed, solid mics that wont break the bank, but perform superbly in a live environment. I play regularly, and have heard dozens of different drum mics, these are up there with the big boys at a fraction of the price in terms of both sound and construction.For studio, maybe these would stand out as cheaper mics, I couldn't say, but for live work these are great.Only downside is that the clips seems fragile. I had one snap on me the first time I tried to use it, but the vendor offered me a % refund which more than covered a replacement clip from the professional line, so all good. Just be careful, that's all.Honestly, these have more than exceeded my expectations. Very happy.
