The AKG P170 is constructed with a rugged all-metal body and robust design intended to withstand tough day-to-day use. It incorporates a switchable attenuation pad that allows for high SPL applications up to 155 dB SPL, making it suitable for loud sound sources such as drums and percussion.
Utilising a lightweight 1/2-inch true condenser transducer diaphragm, the microphone is engineered for outstanding clarity and transient response. It is positioned as an affordable alternative to the AKG C451 B, leveraging the experience of sound engineers from around the world.
The unit features a cardioid polar pattern and an audio frequency bandwidth of 20 to 20,000 Hz. It is powered via a 44 to 52 V voltage interface with a current draw of less than or equal to 3 mA. The audio output is a balanced XLR male connector with 3-pin contacts.
The AKG P170 is applicable for project studios, home recording, and live instrument use, specifically for drums/percussion, horns/woodwinds, and piano/strings. The package includes one AKG P170 microphone and one stand adapter.
