TG D52d

Those who prefer dynamic microphones for picking up sound from toms choose the TG D52d. The clip-on microphone can be mounted in a flash and optimally positioned thanks to the gooseneck. The TG D52d provides powerful sound with notably good channel separation; crosstalk from nearby instruments is reduced.

Even extremely close miking is possible because the TG D52d can operate at enormously high-pressure levels.

Features
• Treble resonator for improved high frequency reproduction
• Special sound holes for a frequency independent polar pattern

Specifications
Transducer type: Moving coil (dynamic)
Polar pattern: Hypercardiod
Microphone frequency response: 40 - 12.000 Hz
Dimensions: Length: 72 mm Gooseneck length
Net weight without packaging: 142 g

TG D57c

Whether with standing toms, snare drums or percussion instruments - with its patented clip-on mount and integrated pre-amplifier, the TG D57c condenser microphone is mounted and ready in a flash. The expanded frequency range ensures faithful reproduction of all drum types and the 72 mm long flexible gooseneck allows it to be optimally positioned relative to the sound source. An elastic capsule suspension on the capsule housing protects against damage from drumstick strikes.

The new electronics provide increased level accuracy and guarantee a very high maximum sound pressure level – even with phantom powering below 44 V.

Features
• Optimally positioned treble resonator for improved high-range reproduction
• 2nd treble resonator within the system
• Special sound holes for a frequency independent polar pattern

Specifications
Transducer type: Moving coil (dynamic)
Polar pattern: Supercardiod
Microphone frequency response: 30 - 15.000 Hz
Net weight without packaging: 315 g


TG D58c

The practical advantages of the patented microphone clamp on the TG D58c condenser microphone are immediately apparent whether when using with rack toms, snare drums or percussion instruments: the microphone can be mounted and positioned quickly and securely. The balanced frequency response also makes it immediately ready for use. Pre-amplifiers are a thing of the past due to the integrated pre-amplifiers with downward-facing standard XLR connections.

Its ability to operate at high levels compared to the previous model Opus 88 should also be mentioned, as is the newly designed, low-resonance housing, the elastic capsule suspension, the improved signal-to-noise ratio and technical values that remain valid even with phantom powering below 44 volts.
