APPLICATION
The M 88 is a dynamic moving-coil microphone for the
highest demands convincing with flexible application
options . It can be used for miking vocals or instruments
in the studio or on stage . Its directional properties are
close to the theoretically possible values reducing the
risk of acoustic feedback to an absolute minimum . Due
to the balanced frequency response, the most diverse
sound sources are exactly reproduced, and a signal is
created that can be processed easily and at will .
When miking the kick drum, the WS 59 wind shield
should be used .
