AKG PERCEPTION 170
•
High
headroom,
minimum
distortion:
Capable of handling sound pressure levels up
to 155 dB without introducing perceptible dis-
tortion and built to resist high temperatures and
humidity, the microphone will give excellent
results in a wide range of applications.
•
Switchable preattenuation pad:
The preat-
tenuation switch (1) on the microphone rear
(refer to fig. 1) lets you increase the headroom
by 20 dB for distortion-free close-in recording.
The preattenuation pad prevents the micro-
phone's output level, particularly at low fre-
quencies, from overloading the miniature
transformers used in many mixer input stages,
etc.
