D7
The AKG D 7 delivers the subtle, open, detailed sound of a condenser microphone, while maintaining the rugged reliability
and ease of control of a dynamic microphone. At the heart of the D 7’s design is AKG’s new Laminate Varimotion diaphragm
which allows precise response tuning without resonators. Thanks to the Laminate Varimotion diaphragm, the D 7 delivers
beautifully-detailed sound, amazing response consistency at any SPL and absolutely incredible gain-before-feedback. You’ll
find that the D 7 always sounds “right” even on the loudest stages.
The D 7 also features a built-in high-pass filter that cuts out unwanted low frequencies, minimizes handling noise, and
provides superior audio clarity and intelligibility. AKG`s newest dynamic microphone also features a humbucking coil that
greatly reduces interference from electrical devices—ensuring that only pure vocal sounds come through.
The D 7 isn’t just a pretty package – it features a super-strong, heavy-duty die-cast chassis with a thick, dent-resistant grille
screen that can easily handle the inevitable accidents that happen in live performances on the road. The mic is also
equipped with a gold-plated XLR-type output connector for loss-free signal transfer.
The sum total of D 7’s technology is a reference-quality dynamic microphone that offers complete control for singers and
speakers and, therefore, a better listening experience for audiences. Its precise, detailed sound quality, mind-boggling gain-
before-feedback, low handling noise and road-tough reliability ensure you’ll be seeing and hearing D 7s on stage with
leading performers for a long time!
