Beyerdynamic TG D50 - Dynamic Microphone Product Information

Thank you for selecting the TG D50 dynamic microphone from beyerdynamic.

Please take some time to read carefully through this information before using the product.

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

At the bottom next to the serial number of the TG D50 there is a switch for LIN or EQ settings.

If the switch has been set to LIN, the microphone can be used for miking toms, snare or other instruments.

If the switch has been set to EQ the microphone can be specially used for miking kick drums. By using the optional ST 99 stand, the microphone can either be placed in front or inside the kick drum.

Connection

The TG D50 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 D50 has a cardioid 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 from behind (angle approx. 180˚ to the longitudinal axis).
• The MKV 99 microphone clip for stands with a 3/8" and 5/8" thread adapter is included in delivery of the TG D50.

Maintenance

The TG D50 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.

Service

Servicing must be carried out by qualified service personnel only, please contact your local dealer in this case. Dismantling the microphone yourself will invalidate the guarantee.
