AKG P420 - Modified!

In which I review and then modify the AKG P420 (Perception 420).

This is one massive nerdy video!


CORRECTIONS:
-The mod makes the AKG P420 emulate a VINTAGE U87i. Not the U87ai as I say in this video.

-There are NOT two capsules back-to-back inside the P420, instead it is ONE capsule with back-to-back diaphragms.

-What can I say? I suck at things.
