Beyerdynamic TG I53 Condenser Instrument Microphone (Cardioid)

About: Beyerdynamic TG I53 Condenser Instrument Microphone (Cardioid)

Inconspicuously small, but incredibly robust thanks to its carbon-fibre-reinforced housing, the TG I53 is a flexible companion for work on stage and anywhere else. Its broad transmission range and its true-to-life reproduction make it the perfect choice for a wide range of uses. Its soft treble boost enables the condenser microphone to excel when it is used with the acoustic guitar, transverse flute and clarinet. It is also the microphone of choice for overhead uses with drums or on the hi-hat – this is why it is also a member of our successful drum sets (Drum Set Pro M/L).

• The very wide frequency response opens up a variety of possible applications, from hi-hats and overheads to percussion, string and brass instruments and choir singing
• Subtle treble boost and excellent detail reproduction
• Its high sensitivity enables longer microphone placement distances
• Light and rugged due to carbon fibre reinforced housing
• Made in Germany

SOUND CHANNELLING TECHNOLOGY

To achieve that "unique" beyer sound, beyerdynamic has been developing and refining its Sound Channelling Technology (SCT) for decades. Our acoustic experts have created acoustic labyrinths with special geometries that provide optimised sound channelling. They influence the sound and model the polar pattern by using precisely tuned delay lines and attenuation pads. Whether with additional elements, special materials or unique design: every beyerdynamic microphone has its own SCT to ensure optimal control of the sound waves. The result? Incredible sound quality.

MADE IN GERMANY

The TG I53 is painstakingly made by hand in Heilbronn. We place a special emphasis on quality in our manufacturing process and use only high-quality components and robust materials. This exacting approach to production will enable you to enjoy years and years of satisfying use.
