Get a Condenser Mic like Christina
Tuesday, April 3, 2012

We’ve recently had a number of enquiries about the microphone that Christina uses in her (more recent) videos. After careful inspection of the video material, we think that it is the “AKG Perception 220 Condenser Microphone”.

You can get the AKG PERCEPTION 220 Professional Studio Microphone for general purpose with one inch true condenser large diaphragm capsule at Amazon.com. Here’s what it looks like:

A piece of advice: While this is a great mic, you should only get it if you know what you are doing! If you are just looking for a mic to use for occasional recordings or screencasts, or just something to play around with, you might be better off with a different one. Consider for example the much cheaper Audio-Technica AT2020 USB Condenser USB Microphone, which you can easily connect to your computer via the USB port. Note that the “AKG Perception 220 Condenser mic” does not have a USB port!

Example Videos

The following videos are examples of Christina’s mic in action.

    What does she plug it into, if she doesn’t use USB? ive seen her have something in her hand after the “In Christ Alone” vid, and then she clicks something on her laptop..

    • Nic

      She uses an Audio Interface – you can buy them anywhere. But to get a decent one you need to spend around $100 – and then your condenser microphone plugs into the AI, and the AI plugs into your computer. When she clicks the space bar on her computer, the microphone stops recording. She then just cuts the video by editing it. Hope this helps!
