AKG Emotion D880M Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Used only a few times and was stored almost its entire life. Be advised the bodies of these mics were made with a grippy rubberized coating that does not age well. It looks like there is glue residue all over but it is actually the mic's rubber finish itself degrading over time. I cleaned it up the best I could but realized it was not just glue residue and did not want to completely remove the lettering.

Via AKG:

The AKG Model D 880M is a rugged dynamic supercardioid

microphone intended for on-stage vocal pickup. Its

supercardioid pattern is uniform with frequency, and its

response has been boosted at mid and high frequencies for

enhanced on-stage vocal applications. The microphone has a

heavy duty, dent-resistant spring steel windscreen with an

integral pop filter for effective suppression of breath noise. The

inner pop filter can be removed for cleaning or for replacement.

The microphone incorporates important AKG developments:

VariMotion System™ in which the diaphragm thickness varies

from 20 microns at the edge to 40 microns at the center. This

distribution of mass produces extended bass response, virtually

eliminating the need for a tuning resonator. The Doubleflex™

mounting system used with the capsule assembly places the

primary resonance of the moving system well below the audible

range, resulting in excellent isolation of handling and cable

induced noises.

The D 880M features a modular output system, which allows the

microphone to be used with a standard non-switched or with a

silent on-off switch with 3-pin XLR-type output or with the TM

40 module to create a wireless microphone compatible with the

AKG WMS 40 series receivers.

The D 880M

’s light-weight body is die cast zinc alloy and has a

black matte soft-touch paint finish for minimum reflection and

glare. In addition, the XLR plug-in module is easily removable

and may be replaced by the optional, TM40 module for

conversion to wireless use.
