“EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET YOUR
SOUND TO THE AUDIENCE”
FOR VOCALS – LEAD OR BACKGROUND – INSTRUMENTAL – PRESENTATION
EMOTION | TRIPOWER Technology:
All dynamic EMOTION | TRIPOWER dynamic models feature VariMotion
diaphragms that allow the response of the transducer to be accurately tweaked in its molding process using a diaphragm of varying thickness. These incredible transducers use high-output
Neodymium (NdFeBr) magnets for lower noise and wider dynamic
range. AKG’s Doubleflex shock mounting system lowers handling
noise tremendously.
DESIGN:
All EMOTION | TRIPOWER models have advanced ergonomics including soft-touch finishes to make them more comfortable and
secure to hold. TRIPOWER models feature triangulated handles for
even greater handling comfort.

MODULAR OUTPUT:
EMOTION | TRIPOWER models have interchangeable output modules
that can be used with non-switched or switched 3-pin XLR outputs as well as the TM 40 UHF module. The same mic can be
used wired or wireless depending on your needs.
