DPA DDK4000 Drum Microphone Kit - Preorder

Everything You Need - The DPA DDK4000 Drum Microphone Kit

DPA’s selection of mics for the drum kit is designed specifically to put the sound engineer in control of the sound. By starting with the clear, true sound of the entire kit, the engineer has the best starting point to shape the sound wanted for the situation. These mics guarantee a natural and precise sound reproduction of the entire kit. The specific mic placements prevent artefacts, bleed and other shadowing effects.

• Natural and precise sound reproduction of the entire kit
• A clean slate to convey the wanted “mood” to the audience
• Specific mic placements prevent artefacts, bleed and other shadowing effects
• Picks up the sound like the drummer hears his kit, thus no or minimum EQ is needed
