Description

Amazing AKG D222 two-way Dynamic Microphones. Nicknamed “The Sound Rocket”, these mics have two capsules and a crossover network, virtually eliminating proximity. They’ve been called “the dynamic mic that thinks it’s a condenser”. They have full frequency range, and since the lower capsule points towards the XLR jack of the mic, they pick up in a very natural “ear-like” fashion.

These are cleaned, serviced and all four capsules sound clean and wonderful. Scroll the gallery images to see replaced internal foam.

These could be excellent for stereo miking in a live or studio setting, on sources like percussion rigs, drum overheads, pianos, or more. Billy Preston used the predecessor (D-202) as a vocal. They were famously the podium mics in British parliament until a few years ago. The proximity effect killer! So awesome for anything that moves in front of them (any kind of hand percussion for instance).

They ship with a padded pouch and clips. One original clip available too (inquire if interested).
