The D 3800 is a dynamic hypercardioid mic designed for vocal use on stage. It offers a combination of unsurpassed performance and exclusive features unmatched by any other dynamic vocal microphone. At the heart of both the D 3800 and D 3800 S is AKG’s Maximum Flux neodymium/iron-boron rare earth transducer. This high-output element, coupled with a uniformly tight hypercardioid pickup pattern, provides exceptional gain before feedback right on top of high-level stage monitors. The D 3800 S is identical to the D 3800 except for the addition of a noiseless on/off switch.
