The AKG P4 is an affordable dynamic microphone designed for capturing drums, percussion, brass instruments, and guitar amplifiers. It can handle sound pressure levels of up to 152 dB without distortion, making it particularly suitable for loud instruments. The frequency response of the AKG P4 is linear, allowing for an uncolored reproduction of instruments. To make the microphone resistant to unwanted noise, such as that from a guitar amplifier, it features a hum compensation coil that ensures a clean sound. With its cardioid polar pattern, the microphone picks up sound from the front, making it less susceptible to feedback and background noise. For optimal positioning, it comes with a mount that has an adjustable tilt angle. The mount also includes a threaded socket for attaching the microphone to a stand. A clamp is provided for secure attachment to snares, toms, and other drums. The microphone's housing is made of metal and has a scratch-resistant coating, making it very durable and robust.
