The AKG Perception Series includes the P 120, P 170, P 220, P 420 and also the new Perception 820 Tube – each offering a switchable 20 dB attenuation pad and a low cut switch for an even wider range of miking capabilities including vocals, acoustic instruments, classical music, electric guitar amps and drums across multiple applications of studio recording, live sound and broadcast. The Perception line offers AKG’s signature “up-front” sound quality captured in a rugged precision-tooled zinc/aluminium alloy body with dent-resistant stainless steel grille screens.
