General

You must have seen them on television: TV reporters who are outside, exposed to the elements, reporting on an impending hurricane, but who are somehow still clearly audible, due to their high-quality microphone. Chances are they are holding an AKG D230. This microphone has a rugged build and catches little wind due to the deep-set head. The D230 is surprisingly solid. The fully metal exterior is so strong you can take this microphone virtually anywhere without any problems. AKG's D230 is a real speech microphone; you can tell by its high sensitivity. It makes your voice sound very natural without added shrillness. Use this microphone and people will listen to your reports with interest and focus.

Topmicrofoon! Volledig ruisvrij en maakt zelfs bij veel omgevingsgeluid kristalheldere opnames. Verder is de meegeleverde etui ook erg handig.

Ik gebruik hem voor Mondharmonica en moet zeggen dat is een success. Ik gebruik ook een 'standard blues' bullet microfoon maar voor geluid uit Hohner Golden melody's klinkt dit veel beter en is veel beter onder controle te houden voor feedback. Ik ben er blij mee :-)
