Designed specifically to meet beatboxers' requirements, official microphone for international competitions.
Beatboxing is one of the "elements" of hip-hop. It involves imitating drum-computer type sounds and other percussion rhythms using the mouth, nose, or throat. Small wonder that beatboxers need extremely good microphones. So AKG designed a dedicated microphone, the BBB DFive that caters specifically to the needs of beatboxers. It has been developed in cooperation with the Beatbox Battle® network, the largest Beatboxing community worldwide. The microphone is also available from the BeatBoxBattle.com online store.
Especially for beatboxers, AKG, one of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality headphones, microphones, and wireless systems for professional use, took its famous D 5 microphone to a new level. "The response has been overwhelmingly favorable. We are pleased to see that our BBB DFive is even more popular now among these sophisticated acoustic performance artists. This microphone is becoming the new standard tool for beatboxing," explained Alfred Reinprecht, VP Marketing, AKG. It was first used at the German Beatboxing Championships in Berlin this February. The two finalists also used their BBB DFive Beatbox microphones at major German TV shows.
AKG further improved the acoustic circuitry of the D 5 microphone widely praised for its performance and reliability. The original AKG D 5 already had become a legend in the world of live sound. In order to optimize it for beatboxing use, AKG added an even more effective internal windscreen that prevents unwanted explosive sounds without altering the brilliant sound of the microphone.
In addition, the BBB DFive Beatbox Microphone comes in a new type of packaging, a cool looking can.
