Classic tube mic sound

The AKG Perception 820 Tube mic delivers the kind of smooth, rich, detailed sound you might expect to get from tube condensers costing a lot more. This high-performance mic lends itself to many kinds of recording jobs, including capturing lead vocals, brass, electric guitars and drums.

AKG Perception 820 Tube microphone

Connect the mic to its remote control/power supply unit using the included 7-pin cable. The remote unit's front-panel controls let you select nine different polar patterns, including omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight, and intermediate patterns. The unit also controls the switchable bass-cut filter and the attenuation pad.

Professional-grade quality

The mic's all-metal housing and brushed aluminum faceplate not only adds durability, but also shields the sensitive circuitry from unwanted RF interference. A ground lift switch prevents unwanted hum. The mic's output transformer emphasizes even-order harmonics to give it the distinctively warm, rich sound of a tube mic.

Important extras

The microphone comes with a spider suspension, as well as a power cable for the remote unit. And it all packs neatly into the included foam-interior metal carrying case.
