General

It can be very difficult to amplify drums. Microphones have a lot of trouble with neutrally transmitting the fast and heavy tones. This microphone is able to relay everything cleanly, however. You can simply suspend one or two microphones above the drum kit so that you can slightly adjust the volumes of the drum kit. The microphone is also well suited for picking up guitars, thanks to the narrow pickup patterns. You can easily aim the microphone at the sound hole of a string instrument and create wonderful recordings. String instruments can also easily be recorded, partially thanks to the low weight of 125 grams.

In combination with the compact dimensions and solid exterior, this ensures that the microphone is well suited for use on any kind of stage. In order to completely adjust the microphone to the instrument that you want to record, there are two switches on the microphone. One of these allows you to control the high-pass filter in order to ensure that very low frequencies are not picked up. The other switch is for the pre-attenuation pad, which is a kind of limiter that filters volumes that are too high. You can switch between -10 and -20 dB and this means that you can use this condenser microphone on stage as well as in a studio.
