AKG D230

For ENG (electronic news gathering) and on-site video production, there is no better mic choice than the AKG D 230. The D230 has a neodymium alloy magnet structure that delivers higher gain, improved sensitivity and lower noise than older mic designs. The D 230’s specially shaped response is tailored to deliver maximum vocal intelligibility so every vowel and consonant comes across perfectly. Its omni-directional pickup pattern makes it easy for reporters and production crew to handle and use. The D 230 is very solidly constructed with a die-cast housing and steel grille screen that is strong enough to handle real-world use and abuse for years. The extended shaft allows for easy placement of station flags and comfortable handling plus the non-reflective finish keeps the D 230 from being obtrusive when seen on camera. The D 230 comes with a stand adaptor and solid AKG warranty. For interviews and reporting, there is no better mic than the D 230.
