DPA Microphones has introduced the DDK4000 Drum Microphone Kit, comprising the 4055 Kick Drum Mic, 2012 Cardioid, and a stereo pair of 2015 Wide Cardioid mics. The kit also features three 4099 Core Instrument Mics.
With consideration for durability at the forefront of this solution, the kit has been rigorously tested to perform flawlessly for all types of music genres and is designed to withstand the demands of life on the road.
‘The DDK4000 Kit is comprised of several mics with similar sonic characteristics that allow users to capture a uniform, uncoloured sound of the entire drum set-up,’ says Product Specialist/sound engineer, Bo Brinck.
‘Every mic in the kit is designed with linear on- and off-axis response, which helps the sound designer keep the natural direct sound as well as the organic bleed between the drums and cymbals.
‘Beginning with the clear, true sound of the entire kit gives engineers the best starting point to shape the sound. We are very excited for the creative possibilities and high-quality sound that this microphone kit will provide to the industry.’
Like most DPA mics, the DDK4000 Drum Microphone Kit comes in a sturdy Peli case, which includes microphone holders and adapters. Additional accessories such as a stereo boom and gooseneck mount, with corresponding shockmounts also available.
