TG V96c

Every comparison needs a reference – data, specifications, properties that can be measured against. For the vocal microphones of the Touring Gear series, the TG V96 true condenser microphone – the benchmark for live vocals assumes this role.

The strength of the TG V96 lies in its absolutely faithful reproduction - even of the finest nuances and on stage every detail counts. The microphone’s exterior stands out for its sophisticated design, with a special coated surface that is pleasant to the touch. But it is what’s inside that makes the TG V96 into a topclass microphone and makes it stand out with vocalists, professional rental companies and sound technicians: this real condenser microphone shines with a captivatingly natural sound. The subtle treble boost provides an open, finely detailed and nobtrusive sound pattern.

Further advantages: the TG V96 can be operated with phantom powering down to 11V without affecting the performance. The 5-layer pop protection made from metal gauze of differing mesh sizes and a sintered plate optimally suppresses plosives while significantly improving the rear-attenuation.

The TG V96 is rugged enough for the stage and is supplied with an individual frequency response curve print out. Handcrafted in Germany.
