D 660S

Description

The AKG Model D 660 S is a rugged dynamic hypercardioid microphone intended for on-stage instrumental and vocal pickup. Its hypercardioid pattern is uniform with frequency, and response has been boosted at mid and high frequencies for crisp instrumental pickup and improved speech intelligibility. The microphone has a heavy duty steel screen with an integral support frame. The inner pop filter can be removed for cleaning or for replacement. The microphone incorporates a Doubleflex™ mounting system used to isolate the capsule assembly. This system places the primary resonance of the moving system to well below the audible range, resulting in excellent isolation of handling and cable induced noises. The light-weight body is die cast zinc alloy and has a dark matte finish for minimum reflection and glare.
