DPA Microphones DDK4002 Drum Microphone Kit

About: DPA Microphones DDK4002 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.

• 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
• Minimum EQ needed, sounds as the drummer hears it
• Sturdy, upgraded case layout eases use and provides extra storage

This kit has an upgraded case that is extremely stable and that has a special foam layout inside greatly simplifying assembly and disassembly and providing extra space for your gear. No need to take the mics apart to put them back in the case. The kit has also been updated with the newest versions of our mics and accessories – including CORE+ and MicroLock®.

2012 Compact Cardioid Microphone

An all-around generalist pencil mic that guarantees excellent results on any instrument on a live stage.

• Durable, reinforced construction
• Excellent transient response
• Uniform cardioid directionality
• Outstanding SPL handling
• Natural and precise sound reproduction

2015 Compact Wide Cardioid Microphone

A wide cardioid overhead microphone for ambient pick up of a drum kit or other instrument groups. The 2015 can be positioned close to the drum kit (i.e., over the cymbals) and still capture sound evenly across the entire drum kit. This closer position results in stronger signal from the drum kit and therefore less bleed from the stage.

• Durable, reinforced construction
• Uniform wide cardioid directionality
• Spacious sound due to a wide cardioid pick-up pattern
• Natural and precise sound reproduction
• Compact design for unobtrusive placement on stage

4055 Kick Drum Microphone

A flexible, professional mic that captures the power and true sound of the kick drum, when placed inside or outside the drum. The 4055 is one of the only kick drum mics that is not sonically pre-tailored to fit a traditional sound in a specific genre. Its low frequency response and dynamics are superb and result in a tight, natural, well-defined sound - the best low-end with detailed mids and highs.

• Picks up the clear, true sound of the kick drum
• Flat frequency response so you can shape the sound your way
• Built tough to withstand rough use on the live stage
• Asymmetric physical design for easy placement inside or outside

4099 Instrument Microphone

4099 CORE+ perfectly captures the booming sounds of drums and percussion instruments. The mic can be easily positioned to fit diverse types of drums and excel on the snare, toms and hi-hats. The flexible gooseneck can be positioned at different angles to allow a variety of sound nuances. The mic is elegant, lightweight, unobtrusive and designed to stay out of the way during performance.

• Handles high SPLs
• Superior gain-before-feedback
• Flexible and easy mounting
• Robust and durable
