AKG Perception Live P5s Reviews

This mic is more sensitive than Shure SM58. The sound is good, no lack or overload in frequencies. As for vocal - quite good and much cheaper than SM58. Reccomend!

Superb all round gig mic

Bought three of these and used them for 10 years without issue. Fantastic all round gig mics.

Sound

Great Sound Great Price.

Outstanding!

This microphone is just great. I can't believe its being sold at this price!

Good Price Point

Nothing special, basically if you are looking for a good sounding microphone with swich - this one could be it! Personally I use it for Talkback situations.

Very decent mic for the price

It's a fair mic for the price range. I used for backing vocals. Not comparable to the upper tier sound, that will be triple the price. The mechanical project is absolutely amazing!

best buy mic in this price range for general use...

Good sounding microphone, if take in mind the price and the build quality is maybe the best buy mic in this price range for general use.

Καλό μικρόφωνο ηχητικά, εάν λάβετε υπόψη την τιμή και την ποιότητα κατασκευής είναι ίσως το καλύτερο μικρόφωνο σε αυτήν την τιμή για γενική χρήση.

A great mic for every situation

I was looking for a decent mic to use while busking and it turned out to be my first choice when I need to use something that works and must be reliable. I know there are better mics out there, but this one is simply perfect for what I have to do: it catches all my vocal shades, works perfectly outdoor as well as indoor and it has a good feedback control and is not picking up all the noise that cymbals and the cajon make.

Moreover... the price: hard to find all these aspects at this price point.

Very good quality

I was surprised for the price the quality build and sound of this product is great. I recommend!!!

AKG Perception Live P5

Another quality mic from Akg this is very good at rejecting feedback at high volume has good base /treble eq.

It is a step up from the Akg p3 which i have used live as a main mic with no trouble to me the p3 is still a very nice mic just the p5 is a little better recommended the akg p5 or the akg p3

Awesome talkback mic

I use this as FOH talkback mic. When you switch the switch, theres a bit of handling noise. Doesn't matter for my application though. Sounds clear and open.

Super

With my deep voice type it beats my Shure 58 !

I mainly do backing vox so it doesn't need to be swithed on all the time what reduces the chance of feedback.

And a great price ...

Low price - good quality!

I bought this microphone as a gift for my sister as she has ambitions on singing.

I compared it to the Shure PG58 as the pendant from Shure.

It has very pleasant highs and a cleaner low-end, compared to the PG58.

These attributes give the AKG perception also the obligation to be used in a recording environment. Even though the on/off Switches seem less common in professional live situations this feature is helpful in smaller Location when no soundman is around.

Compared to the SM58 there are differences in presence and Resolution but mention the price difference!

If used as a microphone for backround vocals the "less presence" can be a good Thing when it comes to stagger the voices behind each other.

Brilliant, opened, super!

For the price of 41 euro I couldn't really imagine it.

Very handling microphones, they react excellently on Live situation due the hypercardiodid.

Very opened, not muddy at all.

Hand noise at the minimum, very well engineered.

Insensitive to the major plosives even without Pop Filter.

Pick up pattern is very small

In this mic the Pick up pattern is very "small sector".

I mean that the mic pics up from the front but if you forexample sing from a slight angle

to the head of the mic you get nothing out.

If you buy this mic. Please read before from the web about the different microphone patters.

we bought this for our drummers backup singing mic.

As we did not want a mic that would picup all the noise from the drums.

For lead singing i recommend more the Dynamic cardioid polar patterns,

That pickup pattern gives you much more natural voice.

For our backing vocals need the quality of the voice is not that important as in the lead singing.

The backing vocals in our case are stronly compressed and low in the mix.
