Project Studio Line has become popular in recent recordings. Developed for project studios and private studios. While inheriting the excellent sound quality of AKG microphones, The optimal recording environment is not necessarily set up. We have taken thorough measures against noise so that it can be used even in small studios. It has excellent robustness and can be used even on harsher live stages.

•By generously applying AKG's proprietary microphone development technology that has produced numerous masterpieces, we have achieved an extremely musical sound that accurately captures the warmth of the sound source. •Each part has been carefully selected, and every minute nuance has been reproduced. •Equipped with a 20dB pad, it can pick up clear sound even from high sound pressure sources. •The housing is made of all metal to reduce the effects of external noise. It is also equipped with a low-cut filter to suppress noise caused by noise, vibration, wind, etc. •With carefully controlled directional characteristics, only the targeted sound is collected clearly. The P420 also comes with a holder with a suspension that suppresses the effects of floor noise. •The diaphragm has gold vapor-deposited on only one side, which prevents the electrode from shorting even if it comes into contact with the back plate. •Robust front grill protects the inside of the microphone. Furthermore, the gold-plated connector has excellent resistance to temperature and humidity, and prevents deterioration of sound quality due to aging.
