D-3800-S
* Frequency response optimized for vocal
use
* Hypercardioid polar pattern for high gain before feedback
* Transducer protected by integrated two-part protective basket
The D 3800 offers a combination of unsurpassed
performance and exclusive features unmatched by any other dynamic
vocal microphone. At the heart of the microphone is an AKG Maximum
Flux neodymium transducer. This high-output element, coupled with
a uniformly tight hypercardioid pickup pattern, provides exceptional
gain-before-feedback right on top of loud stage monitors. The
vocal contoured response rises gently starting at 2 kHz to pull
vocals in front of the mix, while a close-in low end boost adds
warmth. The patented MMS "Moving Magnet Suspension"
system dramatically reduces unwanted mechanical/handling noise
while a hum suppression coil neutralizes electrically induced
interference.
The PowerGrip housing nestles naturally in the palm, and road
tough construction assures never-say-die reliability. The built-in
windscreen removes for cleaning with a twist of the locking bayonet-
mount grill. The D 3800 S is identical to the D 3800 except for
the addition of a noiseless recessed on/off switch.
