Beyerdynamic M 88

DYNAMIC MOVING-COIL MICROPHONE (HYPERCARDIOID)

The M 88 is a dynamic moving-coil microphone for the highest demands convincing with flexible application options. It can be used for miking vocals or instruments in the studio or on stage. Its directional properties are close to the theoretically possible values reducing the risk of acoustic feedback to an absolute minimum. Due to the balanced frequency response, the most diverse sound sources are exactly reproduced, and a signal is created that can be processed easily and at will.

When miking the kick drum, the WS 59 wind shield should be used.
