Specially designed for use inside kick drums, the Lauten Audio Kick Mic addresses a fundamental problem of bass drum capture in that traditional designs begin losing the integrity of their polar pattern as early as 2kHz and become omnidirectional at 200Hz, where a bass drum’s core energy is generated. Kick Mic ‘breaks the rules’ of what is possible with a single inside microphone.
The mic’s single-diaphragm capsule captures complete kick drum with fast transient response and dynamics. Kick Mic reckons to preserve the authentic sound of a kick drum, from transient to timbre, making small or significant EQ and compression decisions faster and easier with integrated low-cut and high-cut filters.
Kick Mic’s physical size allows it to fit through the port hole or be mounted inside the bass drum. The swivel mount adjusts more than 180°, and its repositionable handle allows users to streamline the physical space it occupies.
