AKG D230 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 6

Description:
The D 230 is an omnidirectional dynamic microphone. It
is equally sensitive to sound waves arriving from all direc-
tions. Therefore, it provides uncolored reproduction of
sounds from off-axis directions.
A hum compensation coil on the transducer element can-
cels any interference from stray magnetic fields in the vici-
n ity of AC powered equipment or power lines.
The transducer element is shock mounted inside the micro-
phone body in order to reduce the microphone's sensitiv -
ity to handling noise to a minimum.
A foam lining in the wire mesh grill reduces wind and breath
noise.
The microphone features an extremely rugged all-metal body
so it will withstand the tough conditions often encountered
in location reporting work. Its dark gray finish makes it very
unobtrusive, a particular asset when used on camera in
TV or video productions.

Using the D 230:
The D 230 has beed designed for reporting, ENG, and
EFP use. Thanks to its omnidirectional polar pattern, no infor-
mation coming from unexpected angles will be lost. Another
benefit of this pickup pattern, particularly for reporting
work, is that the sound on tape will not vary with the
source to microphone distance.
Although ambient sound will be recorded along with the
wanted sound, it will be lower in level depending on the
source to microphone distance and above all, it will be
uncolored.
