AKG Acoustics D 7 LTD, D7 S manual Description

1 Description

1.5D 7 The AKG D 7 is a supercardioid dynamic microphone. It has been designed specifically as a vocal microphone for rough on- stage use. The wide frequency response of the D 7 slightly fa- vors the midfrequency and treble regions to ensures

good intelligibility of speech. The term "supercardioid polar re- sponse" means that the D 7 is most sensitive to sound arriving from in front of it, less sensitive to sound arriving from the sides and rear. This pickup pattern is virtually the same for all fre- quencies or, in other words, from the lowest to the highest notes ("frequency independent").

A mechanical/pneumatic shock mount on the transducer ele- ment minimizes handling and cable noise. An integrated wind- screen reduces pop, wind, and breath noise to a minimum. A built-in humbucking coil and 80-Hz highpass filter will effec- tively suppress any other kind of unwanted low-frequency noise. The filter is permanently active. Therefore, the micro- phone has no separate on/off switch for the highpass filter.

A rugged front grill made of spring-steel wire mesh that is ex- tremely resistant to deformation and a sturdy zinc alloy die-cast body effectively protect the microphone and transducer ele- ment from damage on stage and on the road.

1.6D 7 S The D 7 S has the same mechanical, electrical, and acoustic characteristics as the D 7 and features a noiseless on/off switch.

1.7C 7 LTD The D 7 LTD has the same mechanical, electrical, and acoustic characteristics as the D 7 and boasts a chrome-plated case to satisfy specail esthetic requirements.
