The ultimate kick-drum mic
Revolutionary dual-element design represents a ground-breaking transducer achievement
Two elements (condenser and dynamic) are enclosed in a single housing
Dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater while the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell
Elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, something practically unachievable with two separate microphones
Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad on condenser element
Includes a 16.5' (5 m) cable (5-pin XLRF to two standard 3-pin XLRM connectors) for separate control over each element
