Home Studio Makeover Episode 3: The AKG P420 Microphone

Published 2021-09-14
In the third part of our new 4-part video series, we hooked up with the mega-talented Effswell (IG: @effswelll) to set up a new home studio build from scratch, with a little help from the good folks at Harman.

We started at the heart of any good home studio, the audio interface.

Now, Joseph has installed a versatile AKG P420 condenser mic in his home studio, which he's using on vocals, guitar, piano and more. In fact, all the voiceovers in this series were recorded using this mic and the Soundcraft mixer/interface shown in episode 1.

But why let us yammer on? Let Effswell show you how the mic works out of the box and how he's using it in his new home studio build.

Up next in episode 4: getting the mix just right with a pair of studio monitoring headphones.
