Samson calls it an essential collection of professional-quality microphones designed to provide excellent sound in close-miking and recording environments. The logic of the kit is that each of the three microphone types is doing a different job, instead of one model being asked to cover an entire drum kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ71 on the kick\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Q71 is a dynamic kick drum microphone with a frequency response tailored to reproduce the full range of the instrument, including the body and the punchy attack. It is a super cardioid design running 50 Hz to 16 kHz, and it handles up to 147 dB SPL, which is the figure that matters when the capsule is sitting inside a loud drum. At 370 g it has real mass to it, so it stays where you set it on a short stand instead of creeping downwards during a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ72 on snare and toms\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour Q72 dynamics cover the snare and the toms. The pattern is tight enough to isolate each drum and eliminate off-axis noise and feedback, which is what stops a close-miked kit collapsing into one blurred channel. Response runs 50 Hz to 16 kHz with a slight boost in the upper midrange to bring out the attack and clarity of drums, and maximum SPL is 133 dB. Each microphone weighs 150 g with its DMC 100 mount, light enough for the tension-mounted rim clips to hold it in position without pulling on the hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eC02 pair overhead\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two C02 pencil condensers are a matched pair with a cardioid pattern and a wider 40 Hz to 20 kHz response. They bring a high level of accuracy to instrument miking, and in this kit they are there to capture the brilliance of the cymbals and the overall ambient sound of the drums. They also work on hi-hats, thanks to a smooth top end and the ability to capture fast attack transients. Equivalent noise level is 22 dB A-weighted, which keeps the overhead channels clean on quieter studio takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetting up and packing down\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery microphone gets a swivel-style adapter, the Q72s add tensioned rim clips and the C02s use shock-mounted swivel adapters, so setup is quick and repeatable. A deluxe hardshell carrying case is included, which is usually what decides whether a kit like this is still complete after a year of load-ins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101143900416,"sku":"DK707","price":435.78,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/samson-dk707-01.jpg?v=1785434736","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/samson-dk707-7-piece-drum-microphone-kit-with-q71-kick-q72-drum-mics-c02-pair-and-case","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
