TG D58c Condenser Microphone For Drums & Percussion, Cardioid

Hint# Looking to Mic up a drum kit?
Then check out our 6 part video series on drum miking, we explain what to look for and which mic is best for which instrument.

The practical advantages of the patented microphone clamp on the TG D58c condenser microphone are immediately apparent whether when using with rack toms, snare drums or percussion instruments: the microphone can be mounted and positioned quickly and securely.

The balanced frequency response also makes it immediately ready for use. Pre-amplifiers are a thing of the past due to the integrated pre-amplifiers with downward-facing standard XLR connections. Its ability to operate at high levels compared to the previous model Opus 88 should also be mentioned, as is the newly designed, low-resonance housing, the elastic capsule suspension, the improved signal-to-noise ratio and technical values that remain valid even with phantom powering below 44 volts.

Features:

Short, flexible gooseneck with horizontal swivel joint for optimum positioning
Rugged construction with rubber shock-mounted microphone capsule
Patented microphone clamp with integrated pre-amp and XLR connection
No disturbing cable between microphone head and pre-amp
Cardioid polar pattern for high-gain-before feedback
Wide transmission range
Phantom powering 11 - 52 V
