Safety Information
• Protect the microphone from moisture and sudden impacts.
You could damage the microphone!
• Do not blow into the microphone and do not knock on the
microphone basket. Speak into the microphone or lightly
scratch the microphone head grill to check functionality.

 

Applications
The TG D70d is particularly suitable for miking up larger drums and
those with a deeper sound, such as bass drums. It can either
be placed in front of or inside the bass drum using the optionally
available ST 99 stand.

 

Connection
The TG D70d is equipped with a 3-pin XLR plug. The microphone
can be plugged into any balanced microphone input. Available
cables for the microphone can be found under “Optional
Accessories”. The use of phantom power does not damage the
microphone.

 

Setting up
• The TG D70d has a hypercardioid polar pattern and transmits
very little feedback. In order to maximise feedback suppression
and ensure high crosstalk attenuation, the microphone should
be positioned in such a way that the monitor speakers or other,
loud sound sources are aimed at the microphone laterally from
behind (angle approx. 110° to the longitudinal axis).
• The TG D70d has integrated, switchable pre-equalisation: in
addition to the linear setting, this provides a treble boost (to
accentuate the attack) and a low-mid cut. This means that
adjustments frequently made on the channel equaliser of the
mixing desk can be anticipated and later reproduced in the
microphone itself.
• The MKV 99 microphone clip for stands with a 3/8" and 5/8"
thread adapter is included in delivery of the TG D70d.

 

Maintenance
The TG D70d may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth as required.
If necessary, a gentle cleaning agent (e.g. washing-up liquid) may
be used – but on no account use a cleaner containing solvents.
Make sure that no liquid penetrates the microphone head.
