Perception 200 Added Features - AKG Acoustics PERCEPTION 100 Mode D'emploi

• All-metal body: The all-metal body
adds to the rejection of RF interfer-
ence so you can use the microphone
near transmitter stations and along
with wireless microphones or other
communications equipment. The
extremely rugged, heavy body and
sturdy front grill protect the micro-
phone from damage from tough han-
dling on stage.
• High headroom, minimum distor-
tion: Capable of handling sound
pressure levels up to 135 dB without
introducing perceptible distortion and
built to resist high temperatures and
humidity, the microphone will give
excellent results in a wide range of
applications.

2.3 PERCEPTION 200 Added Features

The PERCEPTION 200 is basically identi-
cal to the PERCEPTION 100 but provides
4
the following additional features:
• Bass cut filter: Selector 1 on the
microphone front (refer to fig. 1) fur-
ther reduces low-end distortion caus-
ed by footfall or wind noise, etc. The
filter also minimizes the proximity
effect that close-in miking from less
than 4 inches causes in any unidirec-
tional microphone. The filter rolls off
at 12 dB/octave from 300 Hz down-
ward.
• Switchable preattenuation pad:
Selector 2 on the microphone front
(refer to fig. 1) lets you increase the
headroom by 10 dB for distortion-
free close-in recording. The preatten-
uation pad prevents the micro-
phone's output level, particularly at
low frequencies, from overloading the
miniature transformers used in many
mixer input stages, etc.
