Beyerdynamic M 88 TG Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone

A studio must-have for vocals, kick drum, bass amp, cajon and much more.

Since its introduction in the 1960s, the M 88 has been far ahead of its time. The M 88 TG incorporates a new low-mass diaphragm element, making it the perfect choice for miking a kick drum. Sound engineers have found that the lightning-fast transient response of the microphone reproduces the complex sound patterns of this instrument, resulting in the tight thump without the need for complex signal processing. This characteristic works equally well on other instruments, especially where intricate low frequencies and their harmonics need to be captured. Its extended frequency range delivers a very soft presence boost and exceptional bass reproduction. The M 88 TG is built to last with rugged construction, and is supplied with mic clamp and storage bag.
