Extremely impressive mic

Anonymous 14.10.2016

I must say this is an awesome bass drum microphone. It is of very good quality and is very robust.

The hypercardioid polar pickup pattern of this mic is a great plus for reducing feedback and bleed from other sources in the studio and on stage.

I have also used this mic for recording a bass cab to try and capture the the low end features and it sounds great.

Pros:
1) Quite sturdy and will take some beating.

2) The hypercardioid polar pattern is a great feature.

3) Comes with mic clip, velcro cable tie and bag for mic.

4) Frequency response(20 - 10,000 Hz) ensures that you can capture lots of low end from the likes of a bass drum, floor tom or bass cab.

Cons:
1) It doesn't produce the same natural attack compared to the likes of some more expensive mics but that's nothing a bit of compression and EQ won't fix.

-----------------------

Summary:

I would definitely vouch for this mic as it is an extremely solid, decent microphone for a very affordable price that has plenty of great features.

The best for this price

I took it for my rehearsal space - it's quite big space, so I needed the mic for bass drum. And for this price it's the best mic. I have received what I was looking for, nice sound of the bass drum, but it depends on PA system as well.

Better than I expected but...

I bought this mic with the intention to use it on a kick.

To start with, build quality of this mic, I would say, is phenomenal considering the price. I was really surprised when I first picked it up, as it feels robust and hefty.
Now, considering its recording capabilities, it definitely delivered when placed in front of the kick. It can manage really well on high pressure levels and the sound it produces is solid and detailed enough.
My only issue with this mic is its freq range (20-10k), unlike the akg d112 (20-17k), and I can say that lacking these 10k and above is an obvious loss for my ears. But then again buying this mic was a conscious choice, as I knew that in advance.

Pros:
+ build quality
+ sounds great and definitely delivers
+ pouch and mount ring included

Cons:
- Frequency range is a bit narrowed, missing all the crispy highs compared to AKG D 112 and similar mics.

Can definitely recommend this mic, as I find it a good choice for recording kick if you are looking for a full and warm sound.

DEAL

Have used this for demos and writing purposes in our studio.

It's built with kick drums in mind. Take the reso head of the drum and sit it just inside, half way high and have a nicely tuned head with a bit of dampening and you're done. Seriously thumping kick, match it up with a LD condenser for the attack if you want to get serious. But for the price its seriously faultless, I prefer this over the D112 that my friend has.
I used it on a bass cab and blended it with the Sans Amp direct out for some extra low end and it did the job perfectly.

Pros; Price, build quality, sound
Cons; One trick pony
