This is a classic AKG D20B dynamic microphone in excellent vintage condition.

The microphone has clearly been well cared for and stored safely in its original wooden case.
The inside is clean and original, with no visible signs of corrosion, damage or loose parts.

It has been serviced and tested and delivers the full, warm and powerful sound the D20B is known for. Deep natural lows, clear mids and a strong musical character.

The bass attenuation switch is fully functional, which is an important point as these switches can often be problematic on vintage D20 microphones..

Ideal for kick drum, bass cabinet, brass, broadcast voice and other sources requiring a rich low frequency response.

Included are the original wooden case, manual and high quality Large Tuchel to XLR adapter cable.

Ready for professional use.

Features:

  • Full, punchy sound thanks to the large diaphragm and unique bass chamber
  • Superior reproduction of low-frequency instruments
  • Handles high sound pressure levels without distortion
  • Integrated shock mount to isolate the transducer from vibrations
  • Adjustable bass attenuation: 0, -7, -12 dB at 50 Hz
  • Built-in thread adapter for versatile mounting

The Beatles.
''The AKG D20 was a key microphone in The Beatles' recording arsenal during their legendary sessions at Abbey Road Studios in the 1960s. It was frequently used as a kick drum microphone, capturing the deep, resonant tones of Ringo Starr's drumming. Additionally, its exceptional bass response made it a go-to choice for recording Paul McCartney's bass guitar and other low-frequency instruments, contributing to the iconic sound of their tracks.''
