Overview:
The comprehensive AUDIO TECHNICA MB/Dk7 Drum Pack includes a core selection of five microphones specifically engineered for drum applications, along with two MB 4k cardioid condenser microphones ideal for drum overhead miking. Also included in the package are four drum-rim microphone mounts and a durable carrying case.
- The four included MB 5k cardioid dynamic snare/tom microphones and one MB 6k cardioid dynamic kick microphone feature low-profile design for minimum visibility and versatile placement options around the drum kit.
- With a condenser design and extended frequency response perfect for overheads and hi-hat, the MB 4k features versatile battery/phantom operation, rugged all-metal construction, soft-touch finish, gold-plated XLRM-type connector, and an on/off switch. Its cardioid polar pattern minimizes feedback. High volumes come through without distortion; even subtle nuances are clean and precise.
Tailored for snare, rack toms and other highly dynamic instruments, the MB5K snare/tom microphone offers a moving coil dynamic design with cardioid polar pattern, delivering superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback. With a frequency response of 100-12,000 Hz, the mic is engineered to handle fast transients and high SPLs.
- Custom-engineered for use on snare and toms
- Road-ready all-metal construction
- Low-profile percussion-style design
- Built-in adjustable stand mount
- Element: Dynamic
- Polar Pattern: Cardioid
- Frequency Response: 100-12,000 Hz
- Open Circuit Sensitivity: -58 dB (1.2mV) re 1V at 1 Pa
