Classic with Depth
The M 88 offers natural sound with a wide 30Hz–20kHz frequency response and excellent bass reproduction. Its ability to handle high sound pressure makes it suitable for vocals, kick drums, toms, guitar amplifiers and wind instruments in studios or live performances.
Ideal For Voices
The M 88 delivers detailed bass response and smooth treble enhancement for clear, natural vocal reproduction. Its balanced sound also provides an excellent foundation for further audio processing.
Give It A Try
Originally designed for speech recording, the M 88 is also well suited to podcasting. Its highly directional pickup reduces unwanted interference, while the sensitive neodymium magnet provides strong output with minimal amplification requirements.
Near-Perfect Hypercardioid
The M 88's hypercardioid polar pattern prioritizes sound arriving from the front while reducing unwanted sound from the sides and rear. This minimises crosstalk and helps prevent acoustic feedback in demanding recording and live environments.
Quality Made In Germany
The M 88 is handcrafted at beyerdynamic's headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany. Critical acoustic components, including its diaphragm, dynamic transducer and microphone grille, are manufactured in-house for consistent quality and performance.
It's What's Inside That Counts
A lightweight Hostaphan® diaphragm provides excellent vibration behavior, while an integrated hum compensation coil reduces electromagnetic interference. An internal acoustic labyrinth contributes to controlled attenuation and precise directionality.
Revolutionary Construction with Tradition Behind It
The compact M 88 features a durable brass housing and a three-layer stainless steel microphone grille designed to reduce plosive sounds. Its compact dimensions make positioning easier in restricted spaces, while a sturdy hard case protects the microphone during storage and transportation.
Durable Materials
Designed for everyday professional use, the M 88 features durable construction and serviceable components. Beyerdynamic's repair-focused design allows many individual parts to be replaced when necessary.
