Avantone Pro CDMK8 8-Mic Drum Microphone Kit

Find the perfect solution for your professional drum recording needs with the Avantone Pro CDMK8 8-Mic Drum Microphone Kit. This second-generation kit from Avantone Pro, a leading name in high-quality audio equipment, is the result of extensive research and development. It includes a Mondo Kick Drum Microphone, an ADM Snare Drum Microphone, three ATOM Tom Microphones, two CK-1 Cardioid Condenser Microphones, and a CK-1 Hyper-cardioid Condenser Microphone, offering a versatile range of sound capture options for various drumming applications.

Each microphone in this kit is designed with a proprietary design that not only looks elegant with its Cabernet Wine-Red finish and polished nickel trim but also delivers superior sound performance. The Mondo Kick Drum Microphone, the heart of this kit, boasts an aggressive frequency contour that delivers a huge sound, reducing the need for EQ adjustments. It features a die-cast zinc body with a steel and brass grill assembly and internal shockmounting to minimize unwanted rumble from physical vibrations.

The ADM Snare Drum Microphone is engineered to deliver a better low end and smoother, extended top end, making it a versatile choice for high toms, bongos, congas, and guitar cabinets. The ATOM Tom Microphones are custom voiced to capture a fat, big sound that often requires no EQ at all, making them ideal for djembe, large congas, and bass amp cabinets.

The CK-1 Cardioid Condenser Microphones are perfect for overheads and hi-hat, featuring cardioid capsules for accurate stereo image capturing. The CK-1 Hyper-cardioid Condenser Microphone minimizes bleed from adjacent drums, capturing the delicate nuances of the cymbals while rejecting sounds from interfering sources away from the kit.

The kit also includes the PK-1 PRO-KLAMP drum rim mic mounts, designed for confident positioning of the mic while inhibiting unwanted vibrations. The SSM shock mounts offer superb decoupling of the mics from unwanted low-frequency transfer and rumble, resulting in a tighter, less muddy sound.

The entire kit is housed in a custom vintage tweed case with metal corners, locking latches, a high-density foam tray, and plush lining for secure storage and transport. The case also features a slotted foam tray that lifts out to provide storage for cables, sticks, and other accessories.
