M 88 TG TourGroup™version 437.117
APPLICATIONS
The M 88 offers both a wide frequency response and rugged construction making
an ideal combination for many applications.
In the studio and live use its high SPL capability allows the microphone to be placed
close to loud sound sources such as kick drum and bass guitar. It is also equally
impressive as a vocal microphone or for brass and windwood instruments.
The TourGroup version (M 88 TG) has a reinforced basket to withstand rough
handling when being used for more demanding applications. The M 88 is often used
in a broadcast environment as an announcers or EFP microphone.
FEATURES
• Highly defined hypercardioid polar characteristic
• Sensitive, accurate response
• Extended frequency range with rising high end and exceptional bass reproduction
• High SPL handling capability
• Integral -20 dB humbucking filter
