Let's take a look at the AKG Perception 220 microphone. Priced around $50 more than the Audio Technica AT2020, the AKG packs a number of features into an agreeable (approximately) $200 microphone that are often found on much pricier microphones.

Squeeze – new DJ mix
Posted On 03 Jul 2009 By Dan Taylor. Under: Music.
