Unlike other tube microphones in its price range, the Perception 820 Tube delivers real tube sound quality thanks to its dual one-inch large diaphragm capsule and the sophisticated ECC 83 dual-triode circuitry. The remote control unit provides the 820 with versatility by offering the user to select between 9 different pickup patterns and has both switchable bass-cut filter and attenuation pad controls while an additional ground lift switch prevents unwanted hum.
