AKG DRUMSETII Details ^top

AKG's Drum Set 2 contains 1x D 112 and  4x C 518 M all in a protective aluminium carrying case.

The D 112 has earned a well-deserved reputation worldwide as the best kick drum microphone ever made. Heavy-footed drummers won't faze it, because the D 112 handles up to 160 dB SPL with no audible distortion.

Features D112:

• Large-diaphragm dynamic microphone for bass instruments
• Extremely high SPL capability
• Classic microphone for stage and studio applications

The D 112 has earned a well-deserved reputation worldwide as the best kick drum microphone ever made. Heavy-footed drummers won’t faze it, because the D 112 handles up to 160 dB SPL with no audible distortion.

A specially engineered diaphragm with a very low resonance frequency maintains solid and powerful response below 100 Hz, while a narrow band presence rise at 4 kHz punches through dense mixes with little or no added EQ.

The result is a kick drum sound that ideally balances precise definition and forceful impact. The D 112 is also an excellent choice for use with bass cabinets, trombones, etc.

The ultimate C 518 M miniature condenser microphone for drums and percussions. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects overspill from nearby instruments. A continuously adjustable vise-type clamp makes it easy to fix the microphone securely on the top hoop of most drums or percussion instruments. An external shock mount provides high mechanical-noise rejection. A special snap-on stabilizer knee will keep the gooseneck bent at a defined angle. The C 518 M features an integrated, switchable bass cut for adjusting the microphone's frequency response to your instrument's sound.

Features C518M:

• Miniature cardioid condenser clamp-on microphone with shock mounted capsule
• Ideal for miking drums and percussions
• Including wireless direct adapter for easy use with AKG pocket transmitters
• Detachable microphone cable
• Integrated gooseneck
• Continuously adjustable vise type clamp
