Solid performance, classy appearance, and bullet-proof toughness.

The AKG D 870 combines all the essential features required in a live sound vocal microphone. It is built in Vienna, Austria and you can feel its European quality just by picking it up. This AKG mic is painted in a velvety soft-touch paint that is comfortable and secure to hold. The chassis and grille are finished in matte black that doesn't detract from the singer or performer. The D 870's capsule uses AKG's patented Varimotion design featuring a diaphragm of varying thickness that allows precise response shaping for high performance and extreme consistency. The sound quality is very smooth with a well-chosen presence peak that brings voices forward in the mix and increases intelligibility. The capsule's neodymium magnet delivers noticeably higher output than a standard dynamic microphone, so less gain is needed, improving dynamic range and lowering noise. The microphone's supercardioid pickup pattern delivers higher gain-before-feedback than normal cardioid designs too. The mic's Doubleflex elastic suspension system lowers handling noise tremendously and the spring steel grille screen with an integrated windscreen delivers reliable control of pops and can easily handle the bump and grind of on-stage use. The D 870 comes complete with a nylon gig bag and a stand clamp so it's ready to go out to the show right out of the box. As a further testament to the D 870's performance and quality, it's backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty from AKG.

AKG 800 REVIEW

I gig 3-5 nites a week. From large venues to supper club and open jams. Have used more expensive SM models but this mike stacks up. It is a little bassy but the gain before feed is fab. This thing is indestructable. Plus at this price it is a deal. If you are a Sure guy and like that tone great buy one of these for a back up. It has a warmer tone but better gain and feedback rejection. Actually this mic sounds a lot like my studio condenser. I love it.

i picked 3 of these babies, the price i cannot resist for a REAL AKG. not to be bias to AKG and sennheizers, these are the only mics i trust and use. Compared to the other industry standard brand which model starts with an SM...the D870 has a warmer characteristic and have more balls. Gain, and clarity is wonderful, as long as you understand the science of PA tweaking. She is a little on the bassy side but could easily be compensated. No handling noise, and she does not feed with the same gain as the SM. For the money and quality, i'll put my money on the D870. She is good for an instrument mic as well. I have not recorded with her yet, but for live performances, she is a tank, and will deliver with out hesitation. If you want to pay more for the other industry standard mic that is overpriced for an item that's mass produced from the orient, go with the standard, but if you want clarity, quality that delivers, and yet affordable, D870 is the one for you.
