ELEMENTS OF SOUND
TOURING GEAR – THE BEST LIVE MICROPHONE SERIES WE‘VE EVER BUILT.
BEYERDYNAMIC I HANDMADE IN GERMANY
PERFECT SOUND CRAFTED BY HAND
Producing true, natural sound has always been of highest priority at beyerdynamic. This goes all the way back to the companies’ founder, Eugen Beyer, who was
fascinated with the idea of recording sounds as perfectly as possible and then reproducing them just as perfectly. The dynamic microphone he invented in 1939
was a first milestone – and many more followed. Since then, scores of beyerdynamic engineers have continuously invented new technologies to achieve ever
clearer and purer sound. The result: microphones developed and handcrafted in Germany, whose sound and quality are legendary throughout the world.

THE POWER OF THE MICROPHONE
Whether for voices or instruments, whether at concerts, TV performances or in the studio, the microphone is an integral part of
the connection between a performer and the audience. Because a microphone does so much more than just transform sound into
electrical impulses; it can excite you, make you scream, make you beam, make you cry, send shivers down your spine and touch
your soul. A microphone transmits sound, but it can also transmit so much feeling. Yet another reason for beyerdynamic to build
the very best microphones.

ELEMENTS OF SOUND
How is one microphone different from another? Some are assembled by a machine and others are individually crafted by hand. Some
can just be adapted to suit an application while others are designed specifically for it. Some only transport sound- others utilise
special acoustic labyrinths to optimally channel the sound. Some are purely made up of parts while others contain the know-how
and precision of one of the most experienced and respected companies in the audio industry. Experience the difference between
conventional microphones and beyerdynamic microphones.
The new Touring Gear microphones from beyerdynamic are a series of live microphones that are set to excite performers in studios and
on stages all over the world. Rugged in design with phenomenal audio quality, they are the perfect complement to beyerdynamic’s
legendary M series models, including well-known classics such as the M 88 and M 160, and the personalised M(y)88.
SOUND CHANNELLING TECHNOLOGY
THE SECRET OF PERFECT TUNING
To achieve that unique “beyer” sound, beyerdynamic has been developing and refining
its Sound Channelling Technology (SCT) for decades. beyerdynamic’s acoustic experts
have created acoustic labyrinths with special geometries that provide optimised sound
channelling. They influence the sound and model the polar pattern by using precisely
tuned delay lines and attenuation pads. Whether with additional elements, special mate-
rials or unique design: every beyerdynamic microphone has its own Sound Channelling
Technology to ensure optimal control of the sound waves. The result? Incredible sound quality.
Details on which sound-channelling technology is used in each microphone can be found in the
product descriptions in the following pages. You will hear and experience the result in every
Touring Gear series microphone- that is our promise!
SCT
TECHNOLOGY
Every beyerdynamic microphone has its own sound channelling technology that is spe-
cifically tailored to the design of the diaphragm. For example for the TG V90r ribbon
microphone, a special high-tech acoustic fabric is used on the inside of the sophisticated
sound labyrinth on the back of the diaphragm. This special geometry provides the opti-
mised sound channelling that contributes to the balanced, natural sound of the TG V90r.
Another part of the sound channelling technology of the TG V90r is the newly developed treble
resonator, which provides the smooth high-range reproduction typical of ribbon microphones
whilst protecting the diaphragm against damage from plosives.

HOW MICROPHONES WORK
MICROPHONE TYPES
CONDENSER MICROPHONE
In a condenser microphone the sound causes the conductive diaphragm
to vibrate, resulting in voltage fluctuations between the capacitor and the
capacitor foil. Because the foil diaphragm of a condenser microphone is ext-
remely light, it can detect even the most gentle of sound signals. As a result,
condenser microphones are distinguished by their complex character which
features especially fine resolution at high frequencies, a sound often referred
to as “open” and “elegant”. Today condensers can be found in nearly every
studio thanks to their high signal quality, although they always require a sup-
ply voltage, usually in the form of phantom powering from the microphone
amplifier or mixing console.
DYNAMIC MOVING COIL MICROPHONES
The M19b dynamic microphone, developed by Eugen Beyer in 1939, is based
on the principle of induction whereby sound is transformed into electroma-
gnetic voltage impulses. The advantage of a dynamic microphone lies in its
rugged design, which allows it to better withstand mechanical stress and
makes it conveniently insensitive to footfall and handling noise. The dia-
phragm of a dynamic microphone is heavier when compared to ribbon and
condenser microphones but is able to process high sound pressure levels with
significantly less distortion and reduced crosstalk from other unwanted sound
sources nearby. The result is extremely rugged handling, high feedback rejec-
tion and a powerful sound. Dynamic moving coil microphones do not require
a supply voltage and are best suited to live performances or where high SPL
levels are required.
RIBBON MICROPHONES
Although ribbon microphones are technically dynamic models, their sound
characteristics resemble those of a condenser microphone due to their excep-
tionally light aluminium diaphragms. They are distinguished by their extre-
mely clean transient behaviour while typically sounding warmer and softer
than condenser models. They are particular popular for their natural, faithful
midrange reproduction and a high-range reproduction that is significantly
softer and smoother than condenser microphones. Therefore they are often
used when highly complex sounds are required to be reproduced, whereas a
condenser microphone might sound too “bright” or “analytical.”

MORE THAN AN INSTRUMENT
The human voice is like no other instrument. Every
artist’s voice is individual and unique – and each
performance is one-of-a-kind. To turn these tran-
sitory moments into a special experience for the
audience, you need a microphone that is optimally
suited to the artist’s voice. Time for the Touring
Gear vocal microphones..

TG V90r
ALWAYS SOMETHING SPECIAL
Ribbon microphones have always been beyerdynamic’s speciality; a tradition which beyerdynamic continues on many fronts
and with the TG V90r. The smooth, clear and unbelievably
natural sound, the coherent design and its rugged construction – all are unique characteristics that only the TG V90r can
offer.
vocals TG 90
The special system design of the TG V90r gives it
the sound typical of a ribbon microphone while
making it rugged enough for the hard life on tour.
The complex sound labyrinth of the TG V90r is
hidden under the diaphragm and its approximately
2 micrometre thin pure aluminium ribbon which is
inserted by hand.
TG V90r
As the only ribbon microphone in the world that can stand out even with live vocals on loud stages, the TG V90r is a highlight of the Touring Gear series. This
new interpretation of the legendary M 500 combines the incomparably clear and always unobtrusive sound of a ribbon microphone with the high feedback
rejection and ruggedness required for use on tour today. This is made possible by a new system design that achieves a cardioid polar pattern, which is excep-
tional for a ribbon microphone, combining high output levels with a construction suitable for the stage. The clear, natural sound from this ribbon microphone
with a cardioid polar pattern is due to the ultra-light, approx. 2 micrometres thin pure aluminium ribbon that provides exceptional impulse fidelity and outstan-
ding transient behaviour. No other microphone highlights the individuality of a voice like the TG V90r – one reason why it is so loved by vocalists who want
something special. In addition to the high-quality craftsmanship, the TG V90r is also impressive with its elegant design and special surface treatment.

TG V96c
A STANDARD FOR MEASUREMENT
Every comparison needs a reference – data, specifications,
properties that can be measured against. For the vocal microphones of the Touring Gear series, the TG 96c real condenser
microphone – the benchmark for live vocals assumes this role.
vocals TG 90
The sleek design of the TG V96c is as impressive to
the eye as are the acoustics to the ear – making it
an absolutely first-class microphone.
The inner-workings of the TG V96c reveal its complex design: below the exterior grill made from
double-layered metal gauze, which can be easily
unscrewed for cleaning, there are two further layers
of metallic mesh, which serve both to protect the
diaphragm and optimise the sound.
The heart of the TG
V96c, the extremely
fine foil diaphragm
protected by a layer of
sintered, acoustically
neutral bronze material.
TG V96c
The strength of the TG V96c lies in its absolutely faithful reproduction - even of the finest nuances and on stage every detail counts. The microphone’s exterior
stands out for its sophisticated design, with a special coated surface that is pleasant to the touch. But it is what’s inside that makes the TG V96c into a top-
class microphone and makes it stand out with vocalists, professional rental companies and sound technicians: this real condenser microphone shines with a
captivatingly natural sound. The subtle treble boost provides an open, finely detailed and unobtrusive sound pattern. Further advantages: the TG V96c can be
operated with 11 volt phantom powering without affecting the performance. The 5-layer pop protection made from metal gauze of differing mesh sizes and
a sintered plate optimally suppresses plosives while significantly improving the rear-attenuation. The TG V96c is rugged enough for the stage and is supplied
with an individual frequency response curve print out. Handcrafted in Germany.

DRUMS
FEELING THE BEAT
Drums are more than just the beat in every piece of music. They are just as
much a central component as they are a side note, as much a highlight as
they are a detail. Drum microphones therefore have to sound clear, accentua-
ted and palpable – they must transmit the natural sound of the drums instead
of just replicating it. That is what the Touring Gear drum series is for: they can
operate at high sound pressure levels, have excellent impulse performance
and maximum feedback rejection.

drums TG 50
The patented clip-on
mechanism with a

ensures that the microphone can be quickly,
easily and securely attached and positioned
relative to the sound
source.
TG D52d
Those who prefer dynamic microphones for picking up sound from toms
choose the TG D52d. The clip-on microphone can be mounted in a flash

polar pattern ensures excellent feedback reduction. For each switch a specially equalised frequency res-
ponse curve can be set, which delivers brilliant sound even without making complicated settings on the
mixing console; or a linear frequency response curve can be set, which transmits the natural bass drum
sound which can then be acoustically tuned via the mixing console.

ensures even sound – regardless of how the capsule is positioned. A further
advantage is the unique, innovate clamp that enables quick and easy moun-
ting – without drilling holes and without scratching the instrument.

TG I 56c
The TG I56c condenser microphone, whose frequency response is specially designed for live performances with accordions, ban-
doneons and zithers, is more than just practical. The special clamp enables simple mounting and easy transport: the microphone
is simply removed and the clamp remains on the instrument. The cardioid polar pattern of the TG I56c also ensures high feedback
rejection and the microphone capsule is isolated from vibration on the gooseneck preventing unwanted mechanical noise.

TG I 57c
To pick up sound from brass instruments such as saxophones, trumpets,
trombones or horns, a microphone really has to function at a high level, a
requirement where the TG I57c premium clip-on condenser microphone suc-
ceeds with flying colours. It can operate at extremely high maximum sound
levels and reliably suppresses unwanted noise as a result of its cardioid polar
pattern. The easy to mount clamp with gooseneck for optimal positioning
protects the instrument’s surface and provides a reliable hold.
