The American Microphone Co. D-20 was a dynamic microphone manufactured in the 1960s by the American Microphone Company (AMC). While not as widely known as some other microphones, it was known for its portability, affordability, and good sound quality for general use.
Here's a summary of the D-20's key features:
- Dynamic Microphone: Unlike condenser microphones, the D-20 relied on a moving coil design to convert sound waves into electrical signals. This made it less sensitive than condenser mics but also more rugged and less susceptible to picking up electrical interference.
- Omnidirectional Pickup Pattern: The D-20 picked up sound equally from all directions. This makes it versatile for various applications like vocals, instruments, or capturing the ambience of a room.
- High Impedance: The D-20 has a high impedance output, which means it requires a high impedance input on the audio equipment it's connected to (mixer, amplifier) for optimal sound quality. Some modern audio equipment might require a high-impedance to XLR adapter for compatibility.
- Black Finish: The D-20 has a sleek black, painted finish that minimized reflections and stage glare.
- Portable Design: It is a relatively small and lightweight microphone, making it easy to transport and use in various situations.
