I use the AKG 420 for mic’ing guitar and backup vocals. A tube preamp is a must and really brings the warmth out of this large diaphragm mic. Very pleased with the noise floor and response as some of these FeT mics can bring a little harshness in the high end. With little eq’ing, this is a mic anyone with a decent studio should have in their mic locker.

AKG P420 is a large diaphragm (2 actually) multi pattern studio condenser mic. Some smart shopping on Ebay netted me a pair of these mics for far less than you would expect to pay for one good studio condenser. On acoustic instruments or vocals, overheads on drums, they capture every nuance. Huge Bang for the Buck.

I have been using an AKG Perception 200, and the Perception 420 is the same great low price condenser mic, but with three pick up patterns, as well as a low frequency roll-off and 20 dB pad.

Great mic, for the price it's a no brainer. I had a C414 decades ago, I sold all the stuff a long time ago. When I decided to get back into playing and recording I wasn't going to spend that much money again. The 420 close mics an amp terrifically. I'm very happy with it. This is a great deal with the cable and stand for the same price as others get just for the mic.

Have only done minimal sound checking with it so far, but I like the open "airyness" of the sound. Specs shows it handles a really high SPL (especially for a condenser!). Fit and finish is high quality, like you'd hope an AKG product would be.
