Some products are born classics and the M 88 has to take centre-stage for being far ahead of its time when it was first introduced in the 1960s. Incorporating a new low-mass diaphragm element,
the M 88 TG has earned its place in history in the Kick Drum. Sound engineers have found that the lightening-fast response of the microphones reproduces the complex sound patterns of this instrument resulting in the tight thump without the need for
complex signal processing. This characteristic works equally well on other instruments especially where intricate low frequencies and their harmonics need to be captured. The M 88 TG is one of the most frequently specified microphones by sound engineers worldwide and heralded a beyerdynamic contemporary classic
as this microphone becomes renown for capturing emotive audio signals.
