AKG P2 Instrument Dynamic Microphone, Cardioid

I bought this to record my 18” Tama imperial star bass drum at home and I carry it to mount it on 16” floor tom in my live concerts replacing that sm58 on it….It delivers smoothly what you want from a bass mic. It’s a good bass drum mic in this budgetI strongly recommend this mic if a musician is looking for bass drum mic and have no budget of buying sennieser or Shure micEnjoy!🤘🏼 Thank you Amazon for the discount and thank you Akg audio😌

Lo he usado para grabar marimbula, contrabajo y leona jarocha connexelentes resultados.

Ich benutze das Mikrofon zur Verstärkung eines Hohner Basso. Selbst die tiefste Frequenz (ca. 65 Hz) wird prima übertragen. Der Ton hat volles Volumen, also nicht blechern, sondern schön "bassig". Ich habe das Mikro ca. 10 cm vom Verdeck im oberen Drittel, also bei den tiefen Tönen positioniert. Nach den Proben endlich keinen Muskelkater mehr im linken Arm. Das Geld hat sich voll gelohnt, das Mikro ist empfehlenswert.

The frequency range is quite wide so can be used as a general low frequency instrument mic. It has good internal gain and only needs 6-9db preamp to bring it to parity for a kick. Its pickup range is less than 1m which means it's not picking up everything else going on around. The sound is clear and undistorted with very little noise - perfect! The sound is pretty true though the EQ rolls off at around 1000khz (as you'd expect). For most live applications this is a good choice for kicks or bass amps. It's ok for recording demo tracks.

The good: terrific deep bass tone with no mid scoop; no hum from RF interference.The bad: Wow it's bright for a bass mic, but maybe you dig that. Better to cut than boost the highs certainly.The ugly, and I mean UGLY: The whole clip attachment is a total disaster. It's made of plastic, including the 5/8" threads. You can't separate the XLR from the mount and they are close together so some mic stands may be a problem. The plastic threads are so easy to strip and the 3/8-5/8" adapter they include isn't nearly as deep as the hole, so if you use it, your stand can easily destroy the threads as you tighten it. The whole clip attachment is vastly too fragile for live use.The only remedy is to have a dedicated 5/8" mic stand and NEVER remove the mic from it. You will need gobs of tape to stop the challenged from "helping" you pack up. You should probably also pack a spare.This mic is excellent on bass cab and can be EQ'd into a good kick sound, but if you want a pre-EQ'd can't-miss kick sound go with the e602 or beta52. For bass cab and other low instruments this can work very well studio or live.

機器から発生する音をサンプリングするために購入。お手頃なお値段の割に、周波数が40-20,000Hzと広い。指向性が狭いのでピンポイントで音を拾えます。音の再現性も良いです。踊りながら歌うようなシチュエーションには使いにくいかも？マイクスタンドなどを立てて歌うのに最適なマイクです。
