Review: UNTREATED SPACE: home studio: P170, acoustic guitar - P170.... I did A LOT of research, and tired several microphones trying to set up my home studio (acoustic guitar/vocals) For recording my guitar, in my untreated space, I prefer the P170, for recording my vocals, I prefer the SM57.... It's as simple as that. It IS a condenser microphone, so it is very good at picking up sound... Gaits, and Noise reduction technology is your friend, but this absolutely works in a home studio environment to give you a sound if you're to 1) find the space that gives you the best input, and 2) do a little bit more work on the digital/editing end. I think it's preferable to the C151 because it IS NOT as good as a microphone (the C151 is going to pick up MORE background noise, and has a lower noise floor) What I found for vocals, is it didn't handle my dynamics as well as the SM57, (needing to adjust the gain for softs parts vs loud parts in the same song, which has a way of dampening the emotion) But if you're like me, just trying to put down some finger-picking, country-romance, acoustic guitar, and vocals, the SM57 for vocals and the P170 for the guitar is a SOLID plan.
Review: Excellent for Acoustic Guitar - I use it to record Acoustic Guitar and it gave me a great recording. I record two signals, direct in via an Acoustic Fly Rig and then the AKG Perception through a Neve Preamp. No gripes on the recorded quality. I tried recording my voice on the AKG and did not like the results, probably my terrible singing too! I'll stick to recording guitar with it. But the AKG is a fantastic value for its price.
