Mackie EM-89D Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Clip, Cable and Pouch
The EM-89D is Mackie's workhorse handheld dynamic. It is voiced for the stage and built for the road, with a cardioid pattern that keeps wedges and crowd noise out of the vocal, and it is equally at home in front of a guitar cabinet or a snare drum.
- Cardioid polar pattern that rejects peripheral noise so the performance stays clear
- Dynamic capsule with a precisely tuned response, suited to vocals and to a wide range of instruments
- Handheld design made for vocalists working a live stage
- Rugged construction for consistent performance night after night
- Stage and studio use, it holds up on live performance and on studio recording duty
- Pairs with the EM Wave XLR wireless system if you want to cut the cable loose
- Included accessories, mic clip, XLR cable and zipper pouch
If you are building a set of spare mics for a rehearsal room, a house of worship or a school hall, this is the kind of mic you buy several of and stop thinking about.
Every stage needs a dynamic vocal mic that simply turns up and works. The EM-89D is Mackie's answer, part of the EM Series, and it combines reliability with a sound that suits vocals, instruments and everything in between.
Voiced for the stage
The capsule has a precisely tuned response aimed at handheld vocal work, and the cardioid pattern rejects sound arriving from the sides and rear. In practice that means more gain before feedback when the monitors are working hard, and a cleaner vocal channel when the stage is loud.
Not just for vocals
Mackie built the EM-89D so its roadworthy construction and tuned response also suit micing a host of other instruments. It is a reasonable first choice on guitar cabinets, drums and percussion, which makes it useful in a shared mic locker rather than tied to one singer.
Built for the road
Rugged construction is the point of a mic like this. It is designed to give consistent performance gig after gig, and it pairs with the EM Wave XLR wireless system if you later want to run the same capsule without a cable.
