DISC Audio Technica MB/DK5 5-Piece Drum Microphone Set

Full Description

Bass drums with power

That thunderous kick to the chest from a bass drum is an indescribable sensation. And one that's often difficult to replicate on recordings or through a PA system without the right mic. Luckily, the MB/DK5 set gives you an astounding solution. And it comes in the form of the MB 6k dynamic kick microphone.

With a low-profile design, it's easy to place your MB 6k is your favourite positions inside the bass drum. This opens up a whole world of tonal possibilities, so you can choose the best placement for your needs without the mic getting in the way. The built-in adjustable stand mount means you can attach it to your mic stand with ease, whilst intuitive adjustability lets you fine-tune the angle for the perfect sound.

But that's not all. The MB 6k has been custom-engineered for bass drums, and boasts a frequency response ranging from 60Hz all the way up to 12kHz. So you can capture the body, the resonance, and the attack of your drum with absolute precision. And with a cardioid polar pattern, unwanted sounds from behind your mic are rejected, so it's just the bass drum being picked up through your MB 6k.

Spot-miking made easy

There's nothing like rumble and crack of well-recorded toms and snares. But it's not always easy. There's so many factors to consider when it comes to miking up a drum kit. What and how many microphones you need, which stands to use, and where to put them all. It can be a nightmare to find the perfect combination for your needs. But not anymore. With four purpose-built MB 5k dynamic snare/tom microphones, the MB/DK5 set gives you everything you need to capture studio-quality sound in an instant.

The MB 5k mics aren't just your run-of-the-mill microphones that do an 'okay' job for most things. These mics have been built specifically with snares and toms in mind. With a frequency response ranging from 100Hz to 12kHz, these mics can cover a vast range of snare and tom tunings. You'll also have the perfect platform for post-processing, so you can accentuate your desired frequencies to enhance the attack or body of your drums with ease.

Each mic is equipped with an integrated adjustable stand mount. This makes them incredibly easy to attach to the included drum-rim mounts for hassle-free mounting and positioning. They can simply be clipped to the rim of your snare or toms, and adjusted to find the perfect placement for your sound. Their cardioid polar pattern ensures that only the drum they are pointing at is captured, whilst everything from the rear and sides will be rejected. Combined with their high SPL-handling capabilities and ultra-rugged construction, you can capture your kit with confidence.
