AKG D3700 Hypercardioid Microphone

AKG D3700 Hypercardioid Microphone

The AKG Model D3700 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 lightweight body is die-cast zinc alloy and has a dark matte finish for minimum reflection and glare.

Features:

• Response tailored for instrumental and vocal on-stage performance
• Accurate hypercardioid pattern for added immunity to feedback
• High sensitivity (2.5 mV/Pa) resulting from use of high-energy neodymium-iron-boron magnet
• Light-weight die-cast metal body with dark matte finish
• Replaceable grille assembly
