AKG Acoustics 120, 220 manual Bass cut and preattenuation switches on microphone front

microphone near transmitter stations and along with wireless microphones or other communi- cations equipment. The extremely rugged, heavy body and sturdy front grill protect the microphone from damage from tough handling on stage.

•High headroom, minimum distortion: Capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 150 dB (PERCEPTION 120) or 155 dB (PER- CEPTION 220) without introducing perceptible distortion and built to resist high temperatures and humidity, the microphone will give excellent results in a wide range of applications.

•Bass cut filter: Selector 1 on the microphone front (refer to fig. 1) further reduces low-end distortion caused by footfall or wind noise, etc. The filter also minimizes the proximity effect that close-in miking from less than 4 inches causes in any unidirectional microphone. The filter rolls off at 12 dB/octave from 300 Hz downward.

•Switchable preattenuation pad: Selector 2 on the microphone front (refer to fig. 1) lets you increase the headroom by 20 dB for distortion- free close-in recording. The preattenuation pad prevents the microphone's output level, partic- ularly at low frequencies, from overloading the miniature transformers used in many mixer input stages, etc.
