C112 Kick Drum Microphone

The C112 is a pro-quality, large-diaphragm dynamic capsule especially tuned for full response of kick drums. Mount this mic onto a short microphone stand, then position it just inside kick drum opening. Aim the mic directly at beater for more attack, or towards the far edge of the drum for a more resonant tone.

Tom/Snare Microphones

The TM1500 are high-quality, medium diaphragm dynamic capsules especially tuned for full response of toms and snares. Mount clamps onto each mic, then attach each mic onto the hoop of a tom or snare drum. Angle and distance from mic to drumhead are adjustable. Position each mic toward the center of the drumhead for best results.

Cymbal Microphones

The CM1500 microphones, with built-in “10 dB pad” and “low-frequency roll off,” are directional small-diaphragm condenser capsules especially tuned for full response of crash, hat, and ride cymbals. Mount mic clips onto a pair of tripod boom stands. Slide these mics into the mic clips and position them to get desired delicate and silky highs.

Note: These condenser microphones require 48V phantom power for operation
