These rugged,
elegantly designed drum microphones EXCEL in
live sound as well as in the recording
studio.
Manufactured using the finest
materials yielding a very solid feel, superb
structural integrity and rugged reliability
The
CK-1
has a Low Frequency cutoff switch and –10dB
attenuation switch for versatile tone
shaping & signal control. It accurately
captures the delicate nuances of the cymbals
while rejecting sounds from interfering
sources away from the kit.
The
AMK “ MONDO ”
kick mic is aggressively
voiced to provide a HUGE low end while
accentuating the upper percussive attack
frequencies. Most engineers will find that
very little (if any) EQ is required to
achieve satisfying results.
The
ATOM
tom mic is custom voiced to
yield a fat, big sound that often requires
no EQ at all! Because of the special voicing
on the ATOM it also is fantastic on djembe,
large congas, and bass amp cabinets.
The
ADM
snare mic is voiced to follow
the familiar sound of industry standard
snare mics BUT… We engineered a better low
end and smoother top end…. plus as in
all our mics… NO PLASTIC to break!
The included
PRO-KLAMP
drum rim mic mounts are
superb in allowing a confidant positioning
of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of
unwanted vibrations up into the mic. This
isolation allows for professional results
without the need for tripod/boom stands.
While it was designed to withstand the
rigors of live stage gigging, it is the
first drum rim mic mount that will reliably
work in a pro-studio situation. This makes
the engineers’ job easier and insures that
the mics will stay in place where he
positions them.
The
SSM shock mounts are
as rugged as you can find and allow a superb
decoupling of the CK-1 mics from unwanted
low-frequency transfers and rumble. This
feature, coupled with the use of the PRO-KLAMPS
results in a much tighter, less muddy sound
than other brands of drum mic kits.

“We just finished a new OHM album
using the AVANTONE drum mics on my kit and
everyone was just blown away by their sound…
Now I am using them in live situations
too…In fact after a recent show at the BAKED
POTATO in Los Angeles ,the house engineer
remarked that this was the very best drum
sound they ever had.”
