The AKG P170 is a mic I recommend all the time. I have a bunch of different mics, some costing many times the price of the P170 and recorded the same acoustic guitar phrase and the same vocal phrase with each mic in a DAW project so I could toggle back and forth and select what suited a specific idea quickly. The P170 sounds very close to higher priced SDCs and comes pretty close to a few of the $300 LDCs I own.
I was a bit shocked at how well it compared to many other mics.
