If you're seeking a comprehensive, professional-grade drum microphone set that embodies durability, versatility, and innovation, look no further than the Drum Set Premium by AKG. This meticulously curated collection of high-quality microphones is designed for the discerning musician or sound engineer who demands top-tier audio capture for touring, live performances, and studio sessions.
Encased in a rugged metal carry case, the Drum Set Premium ensures your equipment remains protected during transit, ready for setup at a moment's notice. Each set is hand-selected in Vienna, Austria, and includes an array of eight world-class AKG microphones, specifically tailored for drum miking excellence:
- The D12 VR dynamic bass drum microphone, a reference large-diaphragm model with a cardioid polar pattern, is engineered to deliver a warm, resonant bass response. Its ultra-thin diaphragm and optimized bass chamber are complemented by the original C414 transformer, capturing the true essence of your kick drum. With three active filter presets, you can sculpt the sound to fit the drum's character, while the passive mode offers a pure representation without phantom power.
- Two C214 matched pair condenser microphones for overheads boast the sonic character of the C414 XLII, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality. The one-inch capsule with integrated suspension minimizes mechanical noise, while the switchable 20dB attenuation pad and bass-cut filter accommodate high SPL sources and mitigate proximity effect.
- The C451 B condenser microphone for Hi-Hat revives the legendary sound of the C451 EB + CK1 capsule from 1969, delivering airy, accurate audio capture. Its robust design and low-noise preamp electronics ensure stellar performance even in demanding live environments.
- Four D40 dynamic instrument microphones for snare and toms feature a patented Varimotion diaphragm that adapts to sound pressure levels effortlessly, ensuring a clear and powerful output across all frequencies. The cardioid polar pattern minimizes stage bleed, while the robust construction is built to endure the rigors of touring.
Each microphone in the Drum Set Premium is equipped with clamps and stand adapters for seamless integration into your setup. The D12 VR, C214, C451 B, and D40 microphones together form a complete reference drum microphone set that captures every nuance of your performance with precision and clarity.
