AKG Acoustics D230 - Manual

D 230
Dynamic Microphone
Description
The AKG Model D 230 is a rugged dynamic microphone
intended for general use in electronic news gathering (ENG)
activities in radio and television. Its response has been
tailored for maximum intelligibility of close-in speech, and its
omnidirectional pattern is immune to proximity effects. The
microphone has an integral windscreen and has been
designed for very low handling noise. An internal hum
compensation coil allows microphone use in environments
where AC hum fields may be significant. The light-weight
body is die cast metal and has a dark matte finish for
minimum reflection or glare on television. The extra length
shaft facilitates station flag placement.
