KM-8.1
Drums and Brass Instruments
GENERAL-- Tailored frequency response is smooth and extended. Tuned specifically for drum applications.
-- Cardioid polar pattern picks up the most sound from in front of the microphone and some sound from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume settings.
-- Dynamic cartridge has a simple, rugged coil. Handles extreme volume levels without distortion.
-- Cartridge includes a neodymium magnet for high output level.
-- Internal shock mount for reduced handling noise.
-- Durable metal construction.
-- Integral stand mount.
-- Hardened steel mesh tapered grille that resists wear and abuse.
