AKG PERCEPTION 400 [6/28] Interfacing

3 Interfacing

The microphone uses a true

condenser transducer designed for 48-

volt phantom powering to DIN 45 596/

IEC 268-15. Neither the diaphragm nor

the backplate are permanently polarized,

so the microphone needs an external

power supply.

The microphone provides a balanced

output on a 3-pin male XLR connector:

Pin 1: ground
