beyerdynamic TG V70d
Dynamic (moving coil), hypercardioid, handheld live vocal mic with a shock-mounted capsule
Power None: a dynamic mic needs no power.
- Type
- Dynamic
- Pattern
- Hypercardioid
- Sensitivity
- −50 dBV/Pa
- Among 78 dynamics: more output than 95%
- Among 311 mics: more output than 34%
- Rated range
- 25 – 18k Hz
vs 25 handheld dynamics
More output than 92% of 25 handheld dynamics.
Each stripe is one handheld dynamic with a published sensitivity, and each bar counts them; further right means more output. This mic is in blue.
Proximity effect: the bass it gains up close
From the spec sheet, p. 2.
Titled "Frequency response ± 2.5 dB (at 1 m)", "0 dB = 3.2 mV/Pa"; "correspond to a typical production sample". Room and smoothing not stated.
Dashed: outside the rated range, or simulated (other angles and distances). Hover or tap the graphs for values.
Polar pattern
From the spec sheet, p. 2.
Untitled polar under "Frequency response & polar pattern" ("correspond to a typical production sample"); one full circle, 0° at the top, 5 dB rings to -20 dB. Measuring distance not stated.
