About the AKG P820 Tube
Classic tube mic sound
Classic tube mic sound
The AKG P820 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.
The frequency response for the AKG P820 Tube's selectable cardioid polar pattern.
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, figure-eight, and intermediate patterns. The unit also controls a switchable bass-cut filter for removing unwanted rumble and an attenuation pad for keeping signals clean and manageable when recording loud sound sources.
Important extras
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. The P820 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.
