AKG Drum Set Premium - Drum Microphone Kit with Accessories and Carrying Case in Silver Finish

The AKG Drum Set Premium microphone kit is a comprehensive, high-performance solution for miking drums, percussion, and other instruments in live stage, touring, and studio recording environments. This complete set includes eight hand-selected microphones, each designed for capturing the full spectrum of sound from a drum kit while delivering excellent durability and sound quality for demanding applications. The kit comes with a durable aluminum carrying case, ensuring safe storage and easy transport, making it the perfect choice for professionals on the go. It also includes the necessary accessories for quick and easy setup, including shockmounts, stand adapters, and mic holders.

The AKG Drum Set Premium includes the renowned D12 VR dynamic bass drum microphone, C214 matched pair large-diaphragm condenser microphones for overheads, the C451 B small-diaphragm condenser microphone for the hi-hat, and four D40 dynamic microphones for snare and toms. These microphones are built to work in harmony, offering optimal sound reproduction for various drum kit components, ensuring both clarity and power across the entire frequency range. The D12 VR is specifically designed to handle the deep, punchy sound of bass drums, while the C214 and C451 B capture clear, detailed overhead and hi-hat sound. The D40 mics are perfect for snare and toms, providing a tight, focused sound with minimal bleed from surrounding instruments.

The D12 VR features a large dynamic capsule with a cardioid polar pattern and a frequency range from 17 Hz to 17 kHz, with a maximum SPL of up to 164 dB, ensuring that even the most powerful kick drum hits are captured without distortion. The C214 matched pair microphones feature 1" large-diaphragm condenser capsules and offer a wide frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, capturing full, detailed overhead sound with accurate polar pattern control. The C451 B hi-hat microphone, with a small-diaphragm condenser design, provides exceptional detail and clarity in the high-frequency range. The D40 dynamic microphones are equipped with a patented AKG Varimotion diaphragm that enhances sound quality and offers a cardioid polar pattern for excellent rejection of unwanted noise and feedback, with a maximum SPL of 156 dB.

Each microphone is housed in a rugged, all-metal construction with a scratch-resistant finish and integrated RF immunity, ensuring reliable performance in noisy, high-pressure environments. The D12 VR and C214 microphones come with integrated capsule suspensions to reduce mechanical noise, while the C451 B features a transformerless output stage for low distortion and a flat frequency response. The D40 microphones feature steel-mesh grilles and can handle high sound pressure levels, making them ideal for snare and toms. All of the microphones in the set are designed to withstand the rigors of touring and live performances, providing clear, natural sound night after night.

This kit is perfect for both experienced professionals and up-and-coming artists, delivering high-quality results in any performance or recording situation. Whether you're miking a full drum kit for a live show or capturing intricate percussion details in the studio, the AKG Drum Set Premium provides everything you need to achieve professional sound.
