Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

The 588SDX is equipped with a lockable ON/OFF switch and an internal impedance selection socket located on the XLR connector for switching between high and low impedance. A slip-in swivel adapter is supplied for the convenience of stand-mounted use.

  • Controlled low-frequency response combined with a smooth high-frequency rise for clear and intelligible voice pickup
  • Neodymium magnet for high sensitivity (6 dB improvement over previous 588SD)
  • Symmetrical cardioid pickup pattern minimizes feedback
  • Spherical grille provides effective filtering out of breath noise and popping when used for closeup vocals, and of wind noise when used outdoors
  • Shock-mounted cartridge for quiet operation and low stand/ handling noise
  • Lockable ON/OFF switch
  • Dual impedance selectable by internal socket
  • Break-resistant, slip-in swivel adapter for stand-mounted use
  • Three-pin professional audio (XLR) connector
  • Tough, steel-mesh grille resists wear from constant use and handling; die-cast handle
  • Frequency response: 80 to 15,000 Hz
