Traditional microphones lose their directional integrity at low frequencies, becoming omnidirectional below 200Hzexactly where a kick drum’s core energy lives. This leads to a host of common issues in the mix, like low-frequency buildup, phase problems, and muddy sound. The Kick Mic solves this at the source.
At the heart of the Kick Mic is the new **KC608 capsule**. Its unique design places a 17mm diaphragm within a 40mm element, retaining the microphone’s polar pattern integrity all the way down to 50Hz. This design ensures superior transient response and timbral balance from a single, internal position. The microphone’s **Air Coupling Modes** actively manage sound waves and air turbulence, allowing it to “breathe” with the drum instead of being overloaded. The result is an impactful, chest-pounding sound with unmatched clarity and presence.
The Kick Mic is designed to be molded to your sound. By preserving the authentic tone of the drum, from its initial attack to its natural timbre, it makes EQ and compression decisions faster and easier. Its noise-rejecting design dramatically reduces off-axis bleed from other drums and cymbals, weakening the need for noise gates, phase correction, and corrective EQeven in extreme scenarios. This means less time fixing and more time mixing.
The Kick Mics circuitry combines through-hole and surface-mount components, providing a powerful balance of detail and musicality. Its **compact design** with an integrated locking swivel mount makes it easy to position inside the port of any bass drum, offering over 180 degrees of angular adjustment. It also works seamlessly with internal drum mounting systems, ensuring consistent, high-velocity sound whether youre in the studio or on tour.
The integrated filter system lets you dial in the perfect tone without external processing. The **high-pass filter** removes low-end and increases mid-range punch, while the **low-pass filter** reduces high frequencies and bleed, nearly eliminating the sound of the beater at its maximum position. Get the ideal balance of attack and bottom-end with the flip of a switch.
