D3800 / D3800 S
The AKG Model D 3800M is a rugged dynamic supercardioid
microphone intended for on-stage vocal pickup. The
microphone utilizes AKG's patented VariMotion system that
allows the response of the transducer to be tweaked during
its molding process and features a diaphragm of varying
thickness. Its polar pattern is uniform with frequency, and
response has been tailored at mid and high frequencies to
deliver improved speech intelligibility.
EMOTION | TriPower Series Dynamic Cardioid Microphone
Description
The microphone capsule is shock-mounted using AKG's
Double-flex shock mount system and is protected by an
easily-removable wire mesh grille. The D 3800M also
incorporates a humbucking coil to minimize noise from
electrical interference. The D 3800M has a modular output
which allows the microphone to be used with a standard
non-switched or with a silent on-off switch (D 3800MS) with
3-pin XLR-type output or with the AKG TM 40 module to
create a wireless microphone compatible with WMS 40
series receivers. The D 3800M's smooth triangular shape and
soft-touch paint finish makes it secure and comfortable to
hold. The lightweight body is die-cast zinc alloy and has a
black matte finish for minimum reflection and glare.
