This set includes a D12 VR Dynamic Bass Drum Microphone, a C451 B Condenser Microphone for Hi Hat, 2 C214 Matched Pair Condenser Microphones for overheads, 4 D40 Dynamic Instrument Microphones for Snare and Toms, and 4 K\u0026amp;M 24030 Drum Rim Microphone Mounts for plug-and-play use. This hand-selected collection of high-quality microphones for miking drums comes in a rugged, heavy-duty metal carry case that ensures safe transportation. The included D12 VR Dynamic Bass Drum Microphone is a reference large diaphragm dynamic microphone with cardioid polar pattern. Designed specifically for kick-drum recording applications, this microphone has a thin diaphragm to enhance the low-frequency performance. Its warm sound is realized by the original C414 transformer, especially impressive at high signal levels.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe C451 B is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone which produces an airy sound with a high overload limit and features enhanced engineering details. The durable design around the handcrafted capsule and the low-noise preamp electronics ensure impressive results even under very harsh conditions. The included C214 Large diaphragm Condenser Microphones offer a 1” capsule on an integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise. A switchable 20 dB attenuation pad allows recording of loud sources of up to 156 dB SPL. A switchable bass-cut filter allows close-up recording with almost no proximity effect. The included D40 Dynamic Instrumental Microphones have a solid, all-metal body that makes them durable. The patented Varimotion diaphragm uses a laminated material to damp high resonance peaks and improve audio performance. The transducer is protected by a sturdy wire-mesh cap and can take high sound pressure levels with ease. Each of these microphones comes with a K\u0026amp;M 24030 mount.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eD12 VR Dynamic Bass Drum Microphone:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUltra thin diaphragm for accurate reproduction of the instrument's sound\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptimized bass chamber for enhanced low-frequency performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePatented switchable active-filter presets - 3 sound shapes to match the drum's character\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOriginal C414 transformer delivers a warm sound, especially at high signal levels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCardioid polar pattern rejects overspill from nearby instruments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eC451 B Condenser Microphone:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSound of the legendary C451 EB Microphone with CK1 capsule from 1969 delivers enhanced sound quality with maximum accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEstablished tour sound standard since the 1980s for high sound quality even under harsh on-stage conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImpressive sound pressure level capability of 155 dB SPL allows close-miking of high-energy sound sources without distortion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighly effective high-pass filter with 12 dB\/octave prevents low-end distortion caused by rumble or wind noise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransformerless preamp and surface mount technology provides extremely low distortion, high reliability, and less weight\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eC214 Matched Pair Condenser Microphone:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSonic character for beautifully detailed recording of lead vocals and solo instruments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh dynamic range and ultra-low noise for close-up recording of high-output sources of up to 156 dB SPL\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitchable 20 dB attenuator and bass-cut filter for close-up recording and reduction of proximity effect\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise and vibration from stage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRoadworthy, all-metal die-cast body with shock- and scratch-resistant finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eD40 Dynamic Instrument Microphone:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDual-thickness Varimotion diaphragm provides crisp, powerful sound in all frequency ranges\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh sound pressure levels up to 156 dB for extreme situations without any distortion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCardioid polar pattern for trouble-free use in narrow stage environments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRugged wire-mesh cap and sturdy die-cast metal body withstand tough day-by-day stage use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eK\u0026amp;M 24030 mount:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEasy to mount and remove\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRubber inserts absorb noise and shock\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNo parts to lose\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AKG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449785348199,"sku":"51642","price":2610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/akg-drumset-premium-instrument_51642_1_f8356d32-2b9b-4a3b-be42-b33bc63d5cef.jpg?v=1787090402","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/akg-drumset-premium-instrument-microphone","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
