Samson has announced the launch of its DK 700 Series drum microphone kits. Offering three configurations (3, 5, 7-piece), the DK700 Series are suited to both live and studio applications, Samson says.
There are three models in the new range: the Q71 Kick Drum Microphone, Q72 Instrument Microphone and C02 Pencil Condenser Microphone. The Q71 Kick Drum Microphone features a powerful low frequency response and is ‘voiced to capture the full essence of your kick drum’ and it is equipped with a swivel-style mic stand adapter for maximum compatibility with existing accessories.
The Q72 Instrument Microphone can be used on both snares and toms. It handles exceptionally high SPLs with a frequency response tailored to reproduce the natural tone and attack, Samson says. The Q72 features a swivel-style mic stand adapter, as well as a removable tension-mounted rim clip for optimal mic placement that won’t affect performance.
The C02 Pencil Condenser Microphone is ideal for overhead miking entire drum sets, and also comes with a shock-mounted swivel-style mic stand adapter.
The DK703 3-Piece Drum Mic Kit features three Q72s, while the DK705 5-Piece Drum Mic Kit offers one Q71 and four Q72s. Lastly, the DK707 7-Piece Drum Mic Kit includes one Q71, four Q72s and two C02s. All of the DK Series Drum Mic Kits come with a deluxe hard shell carry case. Info: www.korg.co.uk
