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) microphone, the PERCEPTION will pick up very little sound from the rear.
