AKG Perception P 3 S live
AKG Perception P 3 S live
The AKG Perception P3 S live is a dynamic microphone suitable for amplifying vocals and musical instruments (guitars, wind, string, and others). The microphone can process a signal with an acoustic pressure of up to 144dB without any distortion and provides a natural sound with rich detail across the entire frequency spectrum from 40Hz to 20kHz. The cardioid polar pattern increases resistance to feedback and limits unwanted crosstalk, especially in live sound reinforcement conditions. An internal pop filter eliminates further interference. The robust all-metal construction ensures long-term reliability for demanding live performances. The microphone is equipped with an integrated noiseless on/off switch. Included accessories are a microphone stand holder and a protective pouch.

Microphone Principle
A dynamic microphone is suitable for open performances, live broadcasts, music production, etc. It uses a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
A condenser microphone is primarily used for studio purposes. It has higher sensitivity and lower noise. It must be powered separately.
Frequency Range
The frequency range indicates the span of frequencies that the microphone records. The wider the range, the more sounds it can capture.
Low frequencies (e.g., 20–200Hz): Bass, the deepest notes of instruments (double bass, kick drum) and male voices.
Mid frequencies (e.g., 200–3,000Hz): The body of instruments, the foundation of the voice where the ear is most sensitive, important for speech intelligibility.
High frequencies (e.g., 3,000–14,000Hz): Treble, details, sibilance, and the "sparkle" of the sound.
Air band (above 14,000Hz): Gives recordings a sense of expensive, super-high-quality sound and space.
Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is the ratio of output voltage to acoustic pressure. It expresses how loud a signal the microphone produces at a given acoustic pressure; higher sensitivity means a stronger voltage and is suitable for quiet studios, while lower sensitivity is better for noisy environments as it amplifies less unnecessary ambient noise.
