AKG D 880M Mode D'emploi page 13

The AKG D 880 M is a supercardioid dynamic microphone. It has
been designed specifically as a vocal microphone for rough
onstage use. The wide frequency response of the D 880
slightly favors the midfrequency and treble regions to ensures
good intelligibility of speech. The term "supercardioid polar
response" means that the D 880
arriving from in front of it, less sensitive to sound arriving from
the sides and rear. This pickup pattern is virtually the same for
all frequencies or, in other words, from the lowest to the high-
est notes ("frequency independent").
The Doubleflex shock mount on the transducer minimizes han-
dling and cable noise. An integrated windscreen reduces pop,
wind, and breath noise to a minimum.
A rugged front grill made of spring-steel wire mesh that is
extremely resistant to deformation and a sturdy zinc alloy die-
cast body effectively protect the microphone and transducer
element from damage on stage and on the road.
The D 880 features a removable connection module with a 3-
M
pin XLR connector. You can connect the microphone to both
balanced and unbalanced mixer or amplifier inputs.
You can easily convert the microphone
into a wireless microphone. All you need
to do is remove the XLR connector mod-
ule and replace it with an optional TM 40
transmitter module.
