Frequently Asked Questions

What are the shipping rates?

We offer free shipping on most items to metro areas in ACT, NSW, VIC, and QLD. If you are in a regional area we do offer great shipping rates, though it is often too expensive for us to offer free shipping. You can calculate shipping costs in the checkout and on item pages with your postcode.
Orders under $50 incur a minimum order fee to cover shipping.

Standard vs Express Shipping

Our shipping platform will automatically determine and display the Express or Standard shipping options that are available to you. If Express is not displaying, you're either located too far away from our store in Canberra, or the Standard shipping option will get it to you just as fast for the same price. Express shipping is 1-5 days, Standard 2-10 days depending on how far you are away from our store in Canberra.

For over 60 years the M 88 microphone is still considered the reference in the field of dynamic moving-coil microphones due to its outstanding technical properties.

The M 88 dynamic moving-coil microphone is the go-to microphone for when your session requires the highest demands from a mic, its convincing with its flexible application options. It can be used for miking vocals or instruments in the studio or on stage and is particularly popular for miking kick drums and guitar cabs. That said, when miking a kick drum, a WS 59 wind shield should also be used.

The M 88 directional properties are close to the theoretically possible values, reducing the risk of acoustic feedback to an absolute minimum. And due to the balanced frequency response, the most diverse sound sources are exactly reproduced, and a signal is created that can be processed easily and at will.

The wide frequency response, outstanding bass reproduction, high sensitivity and the almost perfect hypercardioid polar pattern are what makes the M 88 special.

The M 88 has continued to be manufactured at our company's site in Heilbronn, Germany, for several decades – traditionally by hand.
