A studio's secret weapon

Initially launched in 1962, the M88 instantly became an indispensable tool for studio savvy engineers. From studio recording to live sound, it soon became the go to mic for many legendary producers and engineers. The M88TG is acknowledged as the "tour group" model, offering a rugged, durable grille design. This makes it ideal for live sound applications when performances get more demanding.

Take advantage of the M88TG's extended frequency response and ultra-fast transient reproduction. The M88TG offers much improved sensitivity compared to other dynamic microphones in its class. The warm presence boost and detailed low frequency reproduction makes it a great choice for a whole range of tasks. You'll find a great sense of clarity and presence on your acoustic recordings, whilst drums will feel empowered by the M88TG's impact and definition. There's good reason why the M88TG is often used when recording kick drums. No matter what the style, dynamic range, or even price of the instrument - the M88TG will make your recordings sound larger than life.
