Blue Yeti vs AKG p220 | VO Mic Comparison

We put the AKG Perception p220 microphone up against the Blue Yeti to hear the difference on both male and female voice-over. The Yeti is a similarly priced microphone and is widely used as a gaming microphone, as well as by those just starting out in audio, video production, and voice-over. The AKG Perception 220 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone that retails at the low price of around $150. It is not a USB microphone as the Yeti is, which is an advantage or disadvantage depending on how you look at it. As far as the Yeti is concerned, USB microphones in general are definitely convenient microphones in that everything you need is in one unit - the preamp, the USB interface, and the microphone itself. However, one thing to keep in mind if you are planning on using a Blue Yeti for voice over, or really any USB mic for voice-over, is that this all-in-one quality can also hinder your upgrade path along your voiceover journey. Once you're ready to upgrade your microphone to a higher quality and more professional and balanced sounding microphone, you'll find yourself back to square one without any interface or microphone pre-amp. For this reason, it's advisable that USB mics are used secondarily for travel auditions, as a gaming USB microphone, or in other secondary usb mic uses. On top of that, the price you're paying for the all-in-one quality also cheapens the overall components of the microphone itself, creating problems with quality as compared to a standard XLR microphone, not to mention that tonality is impacted by your choice or outboard gear, including your pre-amp and your converter. Nonetheless, the Blue Yeti for voiceover can be great as backup or secondary microphone - or if you're just dipping your toe into the world of VO and aren't quite sure if you want to take the leap entirely. The AKG Perception P220 retails at around $150 and the Yeti retails at around $100. Female Talent: Laura Young Male Talent: Greg Johnson Keep in mind that these voiceover microphone comparisons are best when listened to in a quality set of headphones or studio monitors. It can be hard to hear the difference when listening on a laptop or phone. Also, remember that every microphone will sound different on your voice and in your recording environment. The room where we record these comparison videos has been professionally built and acoustically treated, so these mics are likely to sound different in a different space.
