Product Review I was reluctant to believe that I could make any type of Splash using this microphone to do my first ever voice over gig, but honestly it was all I could afford at the time. It came out smelling like a rose! Of course at that price point you're not going to get anything close to a u87ai. And the noise floor in my opinion leaves quite a bit to be desired, but with the little bit of offset compression and some other tweaking, this mic can sound as good as anything Shure has on the market, or possibly even the sm58 for voiceover work.

Product Review I have had this mic for about a year. Of all the mics in this price range I find the akg p170 best for recording acoustic guitar. The frequency range is good (20Hz to 20KHz) and the mic is quiet. It picks up a good true sound of the guitar. It's well built, metal not plastic. I plan to get another one for stereo recording.

Product Review Does exactly what it says! The small condenser is perfect for my acoustic guitar and is actually extremely accurate from what I hear in the room, which is so important for tone. It is adjustable where high and low end passes go, which helps me to switch from room to room.

Product Review Bought to use for vlog dialog, and i couldn't be happier. The build quality is amazing and the sound quality is surprisingly rich in the mids. Akgp170> apollo pre> cla2a> 1176> fab fltr Q> BAM! If you purchase to use on vocals dont forget to switch the SPL switch down to -20 to avoid popping. Small condenser mics dont get enough credit for their versatility. These mics give that condenser shimmer with out sound brittle and make the audio 'pop'more than the sm57. I cant say its better then a sm57, (because every quality mic has areas it shines in) but its definitely on par overall. Great job AKG, and thanks AMS!
