What makes the BEYERDYNAMIC TG D57 special?

Its design allows you to adjust the microphone's orientation without being limited to a fixed position. The gooseneck provides flexibility to adapt the placement to the drum kit layout and the area of the drumhead you want to capture. For beginners, it is a practical way to explore how the result changes when the position is varied; for experienced technicians, it allows them to fine-tune the setup according to the needs of each session.

The cardioid pattern provides directional pickup, while its ability to handle levels of up to 140 dB SPL is particularly relevant when miking percussion instruments. As the successor to the Opus 87, the TG D57 offers a solution focused on toms and snare drums, with a specific mount and bag included to complete the set.
