Hi everyone, I’m Lion 
I recently found this forum by chance, and I really enjoy reading everyone’s insights here — there’s so much great information being shared!
I happened to come across something interesting related to mic mods — a quick AKG Perception P220 → Neumann U87 modification that’s been discussed on GroupDIY.
Here’s the full thread with the mod details:
AKG Perception P220 to Neumann U87 – 5-min Mod (P200/P100/P400/P420)
And here’s a sound comparison video — it shows the modified P420 side by side with a real Neumann U87:
I thought this might be interesting for those who enjoy DIY mic mods and like testing how close these projects can get to the original classics.
Has anyone here tried similar mods or compared Perception-series mics with the U87?
Would love to hear your opinions on how close this one gets.
Cheers,
Lion
