Harman’s AKG BBB D5 beatbox microphone for MC WAR competition

New York, February 18, 2013. – The MC WAR The Official Sport of Free Style Battling hip-hop artist competition is so far the first and only platform created for artists making music in this style to officially perform. All musicians taking part in the contest use only AKG BBB D5 microphones, designed specifically for beatboxers.

“Today, rap battles have become a true phenomenon, gathering millions of fans who are willing to rewatch recordings of performances several hundred times,” notes Amir James, chief operating officer of MC WAR. – What was once considered a subculture has become mainstream in the hip-hop industry – the contest is also shown on TV, which attracts even more attention.”.

When creating the AKG BBB D5 we took into account the specifics of beatboxers’ work: the musician uses only his voice to create beats, rhythms and melodies during the performance. The ancestor of AKG BBB D5 was D5 model which gained great popularity among professional musicians. From the basic model the novelty inherited a supercardioid directivity diagram and Laminated Varimotion diaphragm, it allows you to fine tune the diaphragm without additional resonators and it improves sound characteristics greatly. The main difference BBB D5 was an updated acoustic circuit and the internal shield, which eliminates noise and interference arising from abrupt exhalations and breaths of the performer. The new microphone has received flattering reviews not only from beatboxers, it is often used by instrumentalists as well.

“Each time our contest becomes more and more popular, and because of this, the demand for quality, clear sound is growing, both among the specialized audience and among the MC WAR performers themselves,” emphasizes Amir James. – The AKG brand was able to offer us a universal in every sense dynamic microphone BBB D5. With it we are confident that the voices of musicians will sound powerful, without interference, and fans will be able to fully appreciate the talent and creativity of beatboxers “.
