Its transparent yet rich sound will lend every performance the necessary gravitas.

The M 88 dynamic moving-coil microphone has a frequency response of 30–20,000 Hz and is characterised by its natural sound, free of tonal colouring. It also delivers a clear signal even at extremely high sound pressures. This predestines it for a range of sound sources – in the studio and live on stage. When using it for a kick drum, sound technicians and drummers value its pronounced proximity effect.

Ideal for Speech and Vocals

The microphone also shines in speech-focused applications, such as podcasting and voiceovers, thanks to its hypercardioid polar pattern, which effectively minimizes room noise for a clean and professional sound.
