AUDIOTECHNICA MBDK6 Details
Audio Technica MBDK6 6-piece drum mic pack
The comprehensive MB/Dk6 Drum Pack includes a core selection of four microphones
specifically engineered for drum applications, along with two MB 4k cardioid
condenser microphones ideal for drum overhead miking. Also included in the package
are three drum-rim microphone mounts and a durable carrying case. The three
included MB 5k cardioid dynamic snare/tom microphones and one MB 6k cardioid
dynamic kick microphone feature low-profile design for minimum visibility and
versatile placement options around the drum kit. With a condenser design and
extended frequency response perfect for overheads and hi-hat, the MB 4k features
versatile battery/phantom operation, rugged all-metal construction, soft-touch
finish, gold-plated XLRM-type connector, and an on/off switch. Its cardioid
polar pattern minimizes feedback. High volumes come through without distortion;
even subtle nuances are clean and precise.
