A Complete Drum Solution
Two C01 Large Diaphragm Condensers for Overheads
Ideal for use as overhead drum mics, the C01 large diaphragm condenser mic is accurate, detailed, and smooth, with warm bass and an extended top end. This sturdy microphone has a large 19mm diaphragm that produces a flat frequency response, and features a heavy gauge mesh grill screen, a gold plated XLR connecter and an LED indicating 48V phantom power.
Three Q-toms for Dynamic Tom Miking
The Q-Tom was specifically designed as a complete solution for tom-miking applications. Capturing the deep low frequencies along with crisp attacks, it employs a tight super cardioid pattern to reduce feedback and increase side-to-side rejection in close-miking situations. The Q-Tom features an integrated mounting clip that easily installs on any standard drum rim, and carrying pouch.
One Q-snare for Precise Snare Drum Miking
Designed for high SPL and durability, the Q-snare is specifically voiced for miking snares. A rim-mount mic clip with cable management lets you attach it directly to the snare's rim.
One Q-kick for Capturing Bass Drums
The Q-kick is a superbly made kick drum mic, featuring a cardioid polar pattern to reduce feedback. Rigid, and featuring a huge diaphragm element, the Q Kick sounds better than a lot of more expensive kick mics.
One C02H Mini Pencil Condenser for Hi-Hats or Rides
The C02H mini pencil condenser brings a high level of accuracy and audio performance to instrument-miking applications. Perfect for miking Hi-Hats thanks to its smooth top end and ability to capture fast attack transients.
Road Case Included
The complete kit comes packed in a rugged road case, ready to haul to your next session.
