  • The BBB DFive is a dynamic vocal microphone for solo performing and lead vocals on stage and in the studio. This supercardioid dynamic microphone ensures high gain before feedback and delivers a powerful sound throughout the entire range of any multivocalist. The BBB DFive has been derived from the D 5/D 5 S microphone. Its most remarkable new feature is an optimized internal windscreen that prevents wind noise even in lip-contact use without altering the microphone's finely accurate high-frequency response.

    The patented Laminated Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm to be fine-tuned with no need for extra tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance. The dual shock mount eliminates any kind of mechanical noise for trouble-free live use. The audience will hear nothing but the pristine sound of your voice!

    The user manual contains a section on basic beatboxing techniques, and the BBB DFive microphone has been appointed the official Beatbox Battle® microphone for the coming years.
