AKG P4 High Performance Dynamic Instrument Microphone
The AKG P4 is a dynamic cardioid instrument microphone with a humbucking coil for EMC rejection and 157 dB maximum SPL handling. Built for drums, guitar amps, and wind instruments in stage and studio use. Includes an integrated stand adapter and zip bag.Overview
The AKG P4 is a robust dynamic instrument microphone built for the rigours of daily stage use and project studio recording. Its neutral frequency response and high SPL handling (up to 157 dB) make it well suited for capturing amplifier cabinets, drums, percussion, and wind instruments. The integrated humbucking coil effectively rejects electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean audio even in environments with strong electrical noise sources. An integrated stand adapter — compatible with snare drum and tom-tom rims — simplifies placement, and a zip bag is included for safe transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a humbucking coil in a dynamic microphone?
The humbucking coil rejects electromagnetic interference (EMC) from stage lighting transformers, wireless systems, and power cables, keeping your instrument recording clean.
What instruments is the P4 engineered for?
The P4 excels on drums (snare, toms), guitar amplifiers, wind instruments, and other stage instruments where moderate SPL handling and EMC rejection are needed.
How much sound pressure can the P4 handle?
The P4 can handle up to 157 dB SPL, suitable for loud drums, amplified instruments, and high-energy live performances.
Is the P4 suitable for both stage and studio use?
Yes, its cardioid pattern, EMC rejection, and rugged construction make it equally effective for live drums and studio instrument recording.
How does cardioid rejection help isolate instrument sources on a busy stage?
The cardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides and rear, isolating your snare, guitar, or wind instrument from cymbals, drums, and other stage noise.
What is included with the P4 for quick mounting?
The P4 includes an integrated stand adapter and a protective zip bag for storage and transport.
