Precision Snare Capture
Designed as a small-diaphragm condenser specifically for snare and percussion, this microphone delivers exceptional clarity, punch, and control. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses tightly on the snare, reducing bleed from cymbals and other kit elements. With a wide 30Hz–20kHz frequency response, it captures crisp attacks and detailed overtones that help the snare cut through dense mixes. High sensitivity ensures accurate signal reproduction, while the low equivalent noise level keeps recordings clean and professional. Whether used in studio sessions or live performances, it consistently delivers a sharp, defined snare sound engineers can rely on.
High SPL Performance
Built to handle aggressive playing, this microphone supports extremely high sound pressure levels up to 135dB with the -10dB pad engaged. This makes it ideal for loud snare hits without distortion or loss of detail. The switchable pad adds flexibility across different playing styles and environments, from subtle ghost notes to powerful rim shots. Phantom power operation via standard 48V ensures seamless integration with professional mixers and interfaces. Its excellent transient response captures fast snare dynamics accurately, preserving energy and impact while maintaining balance and control in demanding recording or live sound situations.
Compact Durable Design
With a low-profile, lightweight body, this microphone is easy to position even in tight drum setups without interfering with the drummer’s performance. The rugged construction is built to withstand frequent use, touring, and hard-hitting sessions. Flexible mounting options allow precise angle adjustments for optimal tone capture. Compact dimensions and a standard 3-pin XLR connector ensure compatibility with professional setups. Trusted by drummers and engineers alike, it offers long-term reliability, consistent performance, and professional-grade snare reproduction in both studio and live environments.
