By incorporating decades of expertise in developing musical technologies, the YDM Series of dynamic microphones provides an exciting new addition to the Yamaha audio lineup that spans the entire input-to-output signal chain. Encased in a sleek metal body, the YDM Series microphones feature a custom-designed cardioid capsule that flawlessly captures your sound so you hear crystal-clear audio on the other end. YDM Series microphones are equipped with an advanced insulator crafted with proprietary materials that reduce vibrations from handling noise and other external sources, allowing you to concentrate on your performance. Taking cues from our musical instrument craftspeople, the YDM Series microphones follow a refined design that incorporates the flowing curves of a wind instrument. The top of the grip is accented with a silver ring, giving it a distinctive look. The grip has also been optimized through repeated prototype tests to ensure a comfortable fit. For some performers, mic drop moments are unavoidable. Whether from epic monologues or mishaps, replacement grilles are sold separately so you can keep your microphone looking like new. In addition to the microphone holder, a 5/8" to 3/8" inch threaded adapter and a microphone pouch are also included.
