Beyerdynamic TG I57c OPUS

Cardioid Condenser Clip-on Microphone for Wind Instruments

To pick up sound from brass instruments such as saxophones, trumpets, trombones or horns, a microphone really has to function at a high level, a requirement where the TG I 57 premium clip-on condenser microphone succeeds with flying colours.
It can operate at extremely high maximum sound levels and reliably suppresses unwanted noise as a result of its cardioid polar pattern.
The easy to mount clamp with gooseneck for optimal positioning protects the instrument’s surface and provides a reliable hold. For wired operation at a phantom powering input, the optional CV 18 (Opus pin out) or MA PVA (TG pin out) is necessary. Cable length is 1.1 m.

Sound Channeling Technology:

• Optimally positioned treble resonator for improved high-range reproduction
• 2nd treble resonator within the system
• Special sound holes for a frequency-independent polar pattern
