## Description

From the brand AKG Open Back Headphones AKG Closed Back Headphones AKG Condenser Microphones AKG Dynamic Microphones

Review: Impressively quiet mics. Ended up with two for stereo recording. - 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.
Review: Bright and clear sounding - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great microphone
*by N***P on 24 August 2021*

I bought this mic to use it as an overhead microphone to record gongs. It picks up the sound wonderfully and its sound is very clear! In fact it’s so sensitive I tried it near the gong and it kept on clipping even with the gain turned to almost “0” so I wouldn’t recommend it for that purpouse but it is definetely a perfect mic for recording other sound healing instruments.
