Kick Drum Microphone
The KM1200 large-diaphragm dynamic capsule is especially tuned for kick drums. Mount this mic onto a short microphone stand, then position it just inside the kick drum opening. Aim the mic directly at the beater for more attack, or toward the far edge of the drum for a more resonant tone.
Tom/Snare Microphone
The TM1200 medium-diaphragm dynamic capsules are especially tuned for toms and snares. Mount clamps onto each mic then attach them onto the hoop of a tom or snare drum. The angle and distance from mic to drumhead are adjustable. Position each toward the center of the drumhead for best results.
Cymbal Microphones
The CM1200 directional small-diaphragm condenser capsules are tuned for crash, hat, and ride cymbals. Mount them onto tripod boom stands and position for desired delicate/silky highs. Each mic should be placed about 3′ above the ride cymbal and hi-hat, pointing directly down. They can also be positioned directly above the snare in an “XY” pattern, with capsule ends nearly touching—one pointing at the ride, the other at the hi-hat.
Kit Accessories
The Behringer BC1200 is a high-quality set of 7 microphones tuned and matched to capture every nuance of a full drum kit. It includes wind noise filters for overhead mics, clamps for tom/snare mics, 5/8″ threaded adapters, and an easy carry case. The rugged die-cast construction allows the BC1200 to withstand the rigors of studio and stage life.
