This mic is so versatile! I use it for my acoustic kit, I also use it with my SPDSX Pro. I placed it on the floor in front of a speaker that I play out of and run it through the mains it works perfectly. I also use it to make up my Cajon. It does require 48 V phantom power, but that’s not a problem. It’s high-quality and very durable. I also use it in conjunction with an AKGD 112. Perfect combo! Highly recommended.

Super punchy, sounds just like a bass drum mic should. Using in studio, inside a Ludwig Classic Maple 16x20" bass drum! Good times!

Bought this for my band cause we had been going through different kick microphones to get a good sound. I work as an audio engineer for live sound and this is a go to for me for live sound. We had access to the usual suspects. D6, beta 52, akgD112. Wasn’t getting what we needed in the ears. As an experiment i got this old standby and it was exactly what we needed. Love it.

This is the mic that will end my bass drum mic journey. It sounds great by itself and eliminates the need for a bass drum mic stand on stage. It’s solidly built and perfect in functionality. I’m very pleased.

Ce micro a pour moi un défaut de fabrication. Je l'ai réceptionné neuf, et je n'ai même pas pu m'en servir une seule fois. En effet la prise XLR du micro déconne ! Ce n'est pas un pb de câble, ni d'activation phantom (on a tout essayé), c'est simplement la prise XLR du micro qui est défaillante.Et quand on regarde de plus près, effectivement la prise bouge et la solidité de l'emplacement laissé à désirer.Et j'ai l'impression que c'est le cas sur beaucoup de micros de cette même gamme.En effet, j'ai eu plusieurs témoignages à qui le même pb est arrivé, soit dès la 1ere utilisation, soit très peu de temps après..Étant batteur pro, j'étais très attiré par le produit avec la facilité de le poser directement dans la grosse caisse sans passer par un pied externe... mais après l'avoir touché du doigt, en plus du prix assez élevé, je le déconseille fortement !

I've been wanting one of these mics for a long time and for a short time they were on special so couldn't pass it up.

I use this thing as a kick mic and it’s probably the best you can get. You can make an 18” kick sound massive, or a 24” sound small and delicate. The detail and range is unmatched. The mounting point on the bottom also allows me to hanging it on walls or the ceiling as an experimental room mic in the studio.

I love these. I haven't found a better-sounding mic in this price range and you don't have the hassle of using a mic stand and trying to get it in the right place. Great mic.

I use this for kick drums. Even if a kick drum doesn't have the hole in the front, you can just place this in front of the kick drum and it works awesome without feedback! I've even put it next to the kick drum pedal to achieve more attack without any issues! Very versatile mic that will give you great gain before feedback and solid low end performance!

All the reviews of this product I read before I purchased were true. This product provides a really solid kick drum sound, and seems much easier to EQ than a conventional kick drum mic. Deeper lows, less low frequency feedback, and a nice 'nail in the paddle' sound so it gives you some interesting top end as well. I compared it side by side to a kick druj trigger sample a recent gig (roland top of the line sound module) and could pretty much dial in the same sound. A great tool in your microphone tool box, worth the dollars. Also great to save space on a tight stage.
