About the Product
The D7 reference dynamic vocal microphone creates the subtle and open sound of a condenser capsule with the powerful resonance of a dynamic microphone. The patented dual-layer Varimotion diaphragm can vibrate unhindered, which results in an extraordinarily crisp and clean sound.
Number one choice for musicians and sound engineers on stages around the world, the SM58 has earned its reputation thanks to its recognisable shape, its robustness and its characteristic sound.
