PPLICATIONS

The M 88 TG 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. It is
also equally impressive as a vocal microphone or for
brass and windwood instruments.
The M 88 TG has a reinforced basket to withstand
rough handling when being used for more demanding
applications. The M 88 TG is often used in a broadcast
environment as an announcers or EFP microphone.

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
