  | The
Perception 120 USB is the very first USB-equipped microphone from
AKG, offering studio-quality sound performance without requiring
any installation or drivers. With the widespread USB standard and
its ease of use, this new model allows users without any recording
experience to make professional-quality recordings from their home.
It is a real plug-and-play device enabling customers to do
podcasts, voiceovers and studio-quality rehearsal-recordings
quickly and easily. 
 The USB is a widely known interface for audio equipment like sound
cards, active monitors and outboard equipment, which makes the
Perception 120 USB one of the most versatile microphones
available.
 
 In its class, the Perception 120 USB is the only USB microphone
with an integrated analogue-to-digital converter with 24-bit and
128x oversampling. Instead of usual one-chip-solutions the
high-quality analogue-to-digital converter provides convincing
sound quality and low noise.
 
 The Perception 120 USB includes a two-third-inch condenser capsule
with a low-mass diaphragm delivering accurate sonic details, an
integrated pop filter that avoids plosives, a switchable bass cut
filter and an attenuation switch. It supports Windows XP, Windows
Vista and MAC OS X but also the new Windows 7.
