The D2 is a high quality dynamic microphone with a full bodied sound and an excellent transient response. It has a consistent cardioid polar patt ern for a low off -axis coloration and a good rejection of unwanted sounds.

The D2 has a marked presence peak centered around 5 kHz for a forward and distinctive sound. Using the D2 close to the sound source results in a bass boost in the 75-300 Hz area due to the proximityeffect which can help make voices and instruments sound fuller.

The three switches allows the user to adjust the frequency response. There are two switches for selecting two diff erent bass rolloff fi lters and one switch for lowering the response in a frequency range centered around 5 kHz.

Equipped with an internal windscreen, an external pop fi lter will usually not be needed. The 5/8’ thread adator in the stand adaptor matches diff erent stand gauges.

The D2 is a versatile microphone that will perform very well in many applications, in the studio, on stage and in broadcast applications, for speech/vocals and instruments like kick-drum and electric bass.
