The mic has a fixed high-pass filter at 80Hz. In a second workstep, the entire diaphragm is thermoplastically stamped in a mold. The mic is available in several colors and configurations: All models come with a mic clip (AKG p/n SA 61), a nylon pouch, and a replacement internal windscreen (which fits inside the metal headbasket). I award a firm “yes “to both questions when it comes to the AKG D7. The unique laminated material damps high resonance peaks in the frequency response, which in combination with the tight, supercardioid polar pattern enables the D7's outstanding high gain before feedback. In order to add new products we have to empty your current cart. The unique laminated material damps high resonance peaks in the frequency response, which in combination with the tight, supercardioid polar pattern enables the D7's outstanding high gain before feedback. The patented dual layer Varimotion diaphragms can vibrate unhindered which results in an extraordinary crisp and clean sound. Please let us know! The mic’s capsule is shockmounted to reduce handling noise. We noticed that you already have products in your cart. May 6, 2009 12:00 PM, By John McJunkin. Also, a high-pass filter, which rolls off low-end sound below 80Hz, is built into the output circuit. The use of varying thicknesses is not new or original nor, as far as we can tell, covered by AKG’s patent on this capsule. Fortunately, the D7 behaved well in both respects, delivering an adequate level of clear and well-balanced sound with no significant popping problems. It uses AKG’s patented “Laminated Varimotion” diaphragm, which is tuned to enhance the intelligibility of speech. Rather, the patent covers the manufacturing process that yields a varying-thickness membrane at low cost. We noticed that you already have spare parts in your cart. That AKG managed a supercardioid pattern is not magical; this is not difficult. The AKG Acoustics D7 is also known as: D-7.

We often have problems with getting adequate level without feedback, and when we use a system with [subwoofers], popping is sometimes a significant issue with our existing [vocal] mics. AKG’s second claim is that the mic exhibits exceptionally high gain before feedback because of its frequency-independent supercardioid pattern. Did we get anything wrong on this page? The capsule has a supercardioid pickup pattern to reduce the transduction of off-axis sound from neighboring singers or instruments. The AKG D 7 has a frequency response that begins at 70 Hz and continues up to 20,000 Hz, although starting around 15,000 Hz, there is a very aggressive roll off. 22% Off: AKG Acoustics D7 Supercardioid Reference Handheld Dynamic Vocal Microphone, 70Hz-20kHz Frequency Response, 2000 Ohms Load Impedance, 3-pin Male XLR MFR: 3139X00010. All rights reserved. The D7 WL1 reference dynamic vocal microphone head creates the subtle and opened sound of a condenser capsule with the powerful resonance of a dynamic microphone. The capsule design is called “Varimotion;” it employs a diaphragm of variable thickness. Frequency response and durability are two important aspects that come to mind when I think about a good microphone. Please turn it on so that you can experience the full capabilities of this site. It is designed to fit the HT4500 and DHT800 handheld transmitters. Supercardioid The D7 is a dynamic handheld vocal microphone. The unique laminated material damps high resonance peaks in the frequency response, which in combination with the tight, supercardioid polar pattern enables the D7's outstanding high gain before feedback.

(2.6 mV/Pa; 70 - 20,000 Hz). The LDT (chrome) version also includes a microfiber cleaning/polishing cloth. The patented dual-layer Varimotion diaphragm can vibrate unhindered, which results in an extraordinarily crisp and clean sound. ⚠ WARNING : Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. A method of manufacturing a diaphragm for an electroacoustic transducer which … has portions with different thicknesses made from a thermoplastically deformable material having a constant thickness, wherein, in a first work step, that portion of the diaphragm material which is to have the greater thickness in the finished diaphragm, is held by an inner positioning device, while the remaining area of the diaphragm is additionally held by an outer positioning device, and the remaining area of the diaphragm is pulled or stretched with the influence of tension and heat to reduce the thickness thereof. The AKG Acoustics D7 is also known as: D-7. This item is currently not available to order online directly from AKG. The unique laminated material dampens high resonance peaks in the frequency response, which combined with the tight, supercardioid polar pattern enables the D7's outstanding high gain before feedback.Its mechano-pneumatic capsule suspension and an integrated high-pass filter effectively eliminate handling noise. Microphone Type: Wired In all versions, the foam blast filter inside the steel basket can be easily removed for cleaning.
