Perception 420
is a multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone for more
demanding professional studio recording applications. Offering high
sensitivity and 155 dB maximum SPL, the Perception 420 delivers a warm
transparent sound quality ideally suited for ensemble recording, grand
piano, woodwind and brass instruments as well as drums and percussion
instruments. In addition, three selectable polar patterns – cardioid,
omnidirectional or figure-eight – allow a wide range of stereo miking
techniques and ambient recording. A switchable bass cut filter
and preattenuation pad enable the Perception 420 to be used close to
sound sources in sound fields as high as 155 dB. The microphone's
chassis is made of precision-tooled zinc/aluminium alloy and boasts a
dent resistant stainless-steel wire-mesh front grille. It comes
complete with a spider-type shock mount in an aluminium carrying case. | Type | Dual-capsule,1-inch large-diaphragm, true condenser pressure-gradient microphone | | Polar pattern | Cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-eight | | Frequency range | 20 to 20,000 Hz | | Sensitivity | 28 mV/Pa (-31 dBV) | | Max.
