This week we look at a set of related mics from AKG in the D series. All dual diaphragm mics. Our 202 didn't quite make the cut for the video, but that pretty much sums up what is happening to many of the ones that have survived to the 21st century.

Corrections: the Uher dual diaphragm mic is the 539 not the 534. & The 314 is mono, however a few of my sources decided to consider them being sold in stereo pairs as a stereo mic... big ol' duh oh my part.. Thanks @beatbazarstudio8091 for the heads up on that! Much appreciated!
