What makes the BEYERDYNAMIC M88 special?

Its variety of applications allows you to make use of it in different tasks within the same session. You can use it to record a voice and then try it in front of a tom or a wind instrument, exploring how the position modifies the pickup. For those starting out, this flexibility makes it easier to learn how to work with distances and orientations; for an experienced technician, it offers alternatives when distributing the available microphones among several sources.

The hypercardioid pattern makes orientation an important part of the setup. Its feedback resistance is useful in live sound, although it is still necessary to be careful with placement relative to the monitors and to adjust the gain correctly. The hum compensation provides a specific measure against external magnetic fields. In addition, the included clip and box provide accessories for mounting and storage without having to look for them separately.
