D 3800M/D 3800MS


  • Dynamic vocal microphone
  • Hum suppression coil for reduction of external interference
  • Spring steel wire mesh cap with integrated foam screen for extreme ruggedness and reliable control of "pops" and wind noises.
  • Double diaphragm suspension for significant suppression of mechanical and handling noises.

The D 3800M is the best dynamic vocal microphone, which is but one of many good reasons for this microphone to take center stage. The VARIMOTION diaphragm is the first microphone diaphragm ever made whose thickness varies across its diameter. This allows the diaphragm itself to be tuned to the desired resonance frequency for a quantum leap in audio performance.
Available with:
XLR connector module with gold plated contacts, for use with a standard microphone cable.
XLR/S connector module with on/off switch.

The package includes the microphone, a stand adapter and a hard shell road case.
