Beyerdynamic TG D57C Condenser Clip-On Microphone Overview:

Whether with standing toms, snare drums or percussion instruments - with its patented clip-on mount and integrated pre-amplifier, the TG D57 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.

Sound Channeling Technology:

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