The second generation of the TG D70 is a specialist among drum microphones. The large diaphragm microphone was designed especially for kick drums. The TG D70 can fit right into every hole on a typical kick drum and can also be set up on a cajón and bass guitar amplifiers.
The TG I51 is a multipurpose microphone from snare and tom drums to electric guitar amplifiers and brass instruments. This lean microphone with the short shaft is easy to attach to the stand or a snare drum with the help of beyerdynamic’s microphone holder MKV 87.
"The refinement of beyerdynamic’s world-famous M88 capsule in the second generation of the TG D70 takes sound quality to a level never dreamed of by its predecessor model", says the company.
The TG D70's directional patter is hypercardioid, while the TG I51 is cardioid.
The TG D70 and the TG I51 are now available. The recommended retail prices are EUR 219.00 (TG D70 incl. VAT) and EUR 119.00 (TG I51 incl. VAT). Both microphones come with an integrated clip and bag.
