Note: Unbalanced cables may pick up
interference from stray magnetic
fields near power or lighting cables,
electric motors, etc. like an antenna.
This may introduce hum or similar
noise when you use a cable that is
longer than 16 feet (5 m).

4 Using Your
Microphone
4.1 General Hints
The PERCEPTION 100 and PERCEPTION
200 are general-purpose cardioid micro-
phones for recording, broadcast, and
onstage use.
Every instrument radiates its sound in a
specific way. Therefore, to get the best
sound it is crucial to experiment with
microphone placement.
The following hints apply to both the
PERCEPTION 100 and PERCEPTION 200.
• The front of the microphone is the
side of the body with the AKG logo
on it. Therefore, always aim the logo
at the sound source you are going to
record!
Being a unidirectional (cardioid) mi-
crophone, the PERCEPTION will pick
up very little sound from the rear.
