AKG Pro Audio P220 Vocal Condens... vs AKG Pro Audio Lyra Ultra-HD Mult...

Great uncompressed natural sounding and bright vocals. It is sensitive and captures the timbre beautifully. However, the perception 120 still crushes it in the studio.

It comes with a very sturdy shock mount, heavy and solid. It also comes with an adapter for both size mic booms & an awesome case.

This mic does it. Even in a room that by most standards should be an acoustic disaster, this mic comes through clean and clear and discards most of the room that other mics pick up.

Akg p220 is very versatile, especially when using mic modulators. I barely have to touch the eq, if at all, this saves me time while mixing down a track. In this location the slightly exaggerated high frequency response helps bring out the stick attac...  Read More

The p220 works very well for baritone ranged singers. The sound quality is fantastic and it really picks up the nuance in dynamic vocal performances. It is completely on par in quality and tone to the rode nt1-a.

If you’re a beginner and you don’t know much about microphones, this is a great little setup. Super-easy to use and picks up great vocal tones. High recommend - use for zoom calls and virtual presentations.

An absolutely incredible microphone. Anything touching anything. Me, i just care about whether it delivers the performance i need/expect, and it has.

Akg lyra is a great microphone for a good price. The gain knob is the best part of the mic. The headphone jack is a nice addition to the headphone.

It is really just plug & play, but it also comes with a free copy of ableton lite. It works fine with both mac and windows and is truly plug and play.

Much better than some * webcam mic. If you need a great mic and don't want to have to use a secondary audio converter, the lyra is one of the best.

The mute button is just a fail. It is not plug and play with the iphone. The volume control knob doesn't control the headphone volume. The front audio control is pretty much also unusable.

In precisely the same configurations, neither of those suffers from this problem. It produces sharp metal noise when recording singing or any loud sound. This makes it hard for adjustments. Not usable if actually recording or doing a webinar.

This particular whining sound comes and goes. My guess is that there's circuitry that's waking up upon audio playback or other activities. In all 4 cases the whining sound is present.
