PERCEPTION 100/200
4 Using Your
Microphone
4.1 General Hints
The
PERCEPTION 100
and
PERCEPTION
200
are general-purpose cardioid micro-
phones for recording, broadcast, and
onstage use.
Every instrument radiates its sound in a
specific way. Therefore, to get the best
sound it is crucial to experiment with
microphone placement.
The following hints apply to both the
PERCEPTION 100
and
PERCEPTION 200
.
• The front of the microphone is the
side of the body with the AKG logo
on it. Therefore, always aim the logo
at the sound source you are going to
record!
Being a unidirectional (cardioid) mi-
crophone, the
PERCEPTION
will pick
up very little sound from the rear.
• When recording wind instruments or
vocals, make sure not to blow or
sing directly into the microphone .
To avoid unwanted wind and pop
noise or moisture problems, place an
optional PF 80 pop screen from AKG
between the microphone and vocal-
ist/instrument.
• Keep the microphone dry . Moisture
from blowing or singing directly at the
capsule from a short distance, or
extremely high humidity may cause
the microphone to start crackling or
go very quiet due to partial short cir-
cuits in the polarization voltage.
• If you use the microphone in the
open air , use an optional AKG
W 4000 windscreen to protect the
microphone from moisture and re-
duce wind noise.
