AKG have just released their first USB-equipped microphone, the Perception 120 USB. Essentially the same microphone as the non-USB Perception 120 (which we reviewed back in February 2009), this latest one incorporates a 24-bit Windows (from XP to Windows 7) and OS X-compatible audio interface, of which AKG say: “Instead of usual one-chip-solutions, the high-quality analogue-to-digital converter provides convincing sound quality and low noise.” AKG Perception 120 USB AKG Perception 120 USB
Aimed at podcasters, voiceover artists and recordists, as well as musicians, the mic ships with a tripod table stand, a swivel mount and USB lead, and can be bought for £135 including VAT.
