SubZero SZD-8000 Drum Mic Set, 8 Piece

Full Description

Capture kicks with confidence with the SZD-50

You want your bass drum to cut through the mix. And the best way to achieve that? Recording it with the right microphone. The SZD-50 has been purpose-built for low-frequency sound sources such as bass drums. Its wide, low-reaching frequency response goes all the way down to 30Hz, so even the lowest drum tunings are captured with clarity. At the top end of the frequency spectrum, the SZD-50 can reach up to 15kHz, giving you a wide range to capture every sonic element of your bass drum.

Bass drums can get pretty loud too. That's why the SZD-50 has been built to handle high sound pressure levels with ease. This dynamic microphone boasts a large diaphragm design and a low-impedance capsule, making it highly-capable of dealing with those high volumes. And with a cardioid polar pattern, the SZD-50 provides excellent isolation of your sound source. So you don't have to worry about sound from behind the microphone being picked up in your recordings.

The SZD-30 - perfect for percussion

Snare drums, toms, bongos, djembes... The list of percussion types is certainly a long one. And if you record a lot of percussion, you're not always going to be dealing with the same types throughout every session. You need a versatile microphone that can handle such a diverse variety. And that's exactly what the SZD-30 gives you.

This dynamic microphones features a wide frequency response, ranging from 50Hz to 16kHz. This makes it ideal for capturing all kinds of percussion, especially the ones around your drum kit. Its authentic, warm tonal character breathes life into your drum recordings, whilst its heavy-duty capsule and large diaphragm design means it can even handle drummers with heavy handed techniques.

Three SZC-80 condensers for crystal-clear overheads

Condensers are the perfect choice for drum overheads. Their wide frequency response and natural sonic character mean that they can capture details with astounding precision. And the SZC-80 condensers do just that. Capable of picking up sounds from 50Hz all the way up to 18kHz, they're ideal for recording the sound of a full drum kit. The sizzle of the snare, the chime and shimmer of cymbals, the thump of the bass drum, and the resonant punch of your toms and other percussion. The SZC-80s capture it all to provide a balanced, clear image of your kit. Perfect for blending in with your other percussion mics to add atmosphere and realism to close-miked recordings.

Built for the real world

It's all too easy to knock microphones, stands, and other equipment when you or others are performing. It's just one of those things that can happen in those kinds of environments. That's why every single microphone in this kit has been built to withstand the rigours of life on the road, on stage, and in the studio. Rugged metal housings and grilles with attractive, durable finishes make sure that all of the precious components inside your microphone remain safe should those accidents ever happen.

A complete package for your entire drum kit

No drum mic package would be complete without a set of handy accessories. And with the SZD-8000 set, you've got everything you need to get setup and recording great sound straight out of the box. Inside the rugged moulded carry case that houses your microphones, you'll also find three microphone clips that are ideal for mounting your condensers on microphone stands.

The SZD-30 percussion mics and the SZD-50 bass drum mic all feature integrated threaded mounting solutions, so you can attach them directly to stands. However, the package also includes three drum rim mounting clips for your percussion mics, so you don't even need to use stands at all when close-miking your kit. And when you're all done, simply place everything back in the case for easy transportation or safe storage.
