The AKG Perception 820 Tube delivers real tube sound quality due to the dual one-inch large diaphragm capsule and the sophisticated ECC 83 dual-triode circuitry.

The AKG Perception 820 Tube comes with the elegant remote control unit, which allows you to select 9 different pickup patterns and controls the switchable bass-cut filter and the attenuation pad. Also a ground lift switch prevents unwanted hum if necessary. The Perception 820 Tube comes complete with a spider-type shock mount and a metal carrying case.

The AKG Perception 820 Tube Main Features Include:


Two back-to-back one-inch large diaphragms featuring True Condenser Technology
