M 88
Dynamic Microphone
Order # 437.115
FEATURES
• Highly defined hypercardioid polar characteristic
• Sensitive, accurate response
• Extended frequency range with rising high end and exceptional
bass reproduction
• High SPL handling capability
• Integral -20 dB humbucking filter
APPLICATIONS
The M 88 offers both a wide frequency response and rugged
construction making an ideal combination for many applications.
In the studio and live use its high SPL capability allows the microphone to be placed close to loud sound sources such as kick drum
and bass guitar (when using with a kick drum, an additional wind
shield such as WS 59 or PS 88 has to be used). It is also equally
impressive as a vocal microphone or for brass and windwood
instruments.
The M 88 has a reinforced basket to withstand rough handling
when being used for more demanding applications. The M 88 is
often used in a broadcast environment as an announcers or EFP
microphone.
