Cardioid SnareMic™

The Drum Periscope™ High Definition Microphones™ are designed for close miking toms and snare drums, and will take a direct hit from a drumstick. A right angle mic head is mounted to the gooseneck for easy positioning. The Drum Periscope™ is mounted parallel to the drum shell with the RM1 RimMount™.

• Improved impulse response for faster and more accurate transients
• Shorter diaphragm settling time to prevent quieter attacks from being blurred by earlier loud attacks
• Extended frequency response to 30 kHz to capture a crisper and more realistic image
• Near perfect polar patterns that remain even across all frequencies and at any position within the pattern
• Will take a direct hit from a drumstick
• A right angle mic head is mounted to the gooseneck for easy positioning
• Stiff mini-gooseneck that will not move when the drums are hit hard
• The microphone capsule housing is designed to protect the microphone capsule and withstand a direct hit from a drumstick
• The electronics are housed in a cylindrical tube attached to the other end of the mini-gooseneck and provide a high level, low impedance output that will prevent RFI
• Cardioid polar pattern
• Frequency response: 50Hz to 25kHz
• Very fast impulse response making it crisp and clean on snare without sounding tubby
• 145dB SPL capability ensures the mic will not overload from the loudest of drum attacks
• Short diaphragm settling time allows you to hear subtle details that you cannot hear using conventional microphones
• Heavy construction enables it to withstand the punishment of the road
