The AKG D 3800is a dynamic supercardioid microphone1.5 D 3800,
designed for vocal use on stage. A slight sensitivity peak be-D 3800M/TM 40
tween 3 kHz and 15 kHz provides good intelligibility and will
make your voice cut through the loudest mix on stage.
A high-flux neodymium transducer with a Varimotion dia-
phragm delivers a high output level and powerful, distortion free
sound. The Doubleflex shock mount on the transducer mini-
mizes handling and cable noise. An integrated windscreen
reduces pop, wind, and breath noise to a minimum.
A rugged front grill made of spring-steel wire mesh that is
extremely resistant to deformation and a sturdy zinc alloy die-
cast body effectively protect the microphone and transducer
element from damage on stage and on the road.

The D 3800features a removable connection module with a 3-
pin XLR connector. You can connect the microphone to both
balanced and unbalanced mixer or amplifier inputs.
The microphone body has been specifical-
ly designed for fatigue-free handling and
ease of use. No matter what microphone
technique you use, the microphone will
always settle comfortably into your hand.
