D 3800

Description

The AKG Model D 3800 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 capsule is shock mounted with an easily removable wire mesh grille. The smooth triangular shape of the microphone is easier to hold than normal circular cross-section designs and is stable when the microphone is placed on a surface. The light- weight body is die cast zinc alloy and has a dark matte finish for minimum reflection and glare.
