beyerdynamic adds two new microphones to its Touring Gear series
Two microphones have made their debuts as part of beyerdynamic’s Touring Gear (TG) series. The kick-drum microphone TG D70 and the instrument microphone TG I51 are manufactured with a die-cast zinc housing, while the compact design includes features that enable both mics to excel in the studio or onstage.
The TG D70 is a large diaphragm microphone specially designed to record the kick drum in action. beyerdynamic describes the TG D70 is a true midget as it can fit right into every hole on a typical kick drum. The microphone can also be set up on a cajón and bass guitar amplifiers to optimally record the instruments’ sound.
The hypercardioid features reportedly provide good isolation from ambient noises and prevent acoustic feedback. The microphone suppresses rear sound and softly captures side sound, making it particularly suited for drum recordings in loud environments like live concerts.
The TG I51 is described as a jack of all trades and reportedly brings out the best in every instrument – from snare and tom drums to electric guitar amplifiers and brass instruments. It can be attached to the stand or a snare drum with the help of beyerdynamic’s MKV 87 microphone holder. The TG I51 is said to enhance the toolbox used by producers and sound engineers while making their lives much easier.
