A military-spec version of the standard Sovtek EL84 - the Sovtek EL84M's extended voltage tolerance - improved plate dissipation - and rugged construction make it equivalent to the RCA 7189. Chosen by Matchless for their designs - the EL84M also features higher transconductance - more power - and longer life than the less expensive EL84 - making it perfect for hi-end audio applications. However - many musician's prefer the regular EL84's warm distortion to the EL84M's tighter - cleaner tone. For all Hi-Fi users - the EL84M is definitely the tube of choice.

NOTE: Due to the larger diameter of the glass envelope, this EL84 will NOT fit in the following amplifiers:

• BadCat Model 2R
• Bad Cat Amplifier Model Black Cat
• Marshall DSL201
• Marshall DSL401
• VOX reissue AC15
