Wharfedale Pro KMD7 Drum Microphone Set

Wharfedale Pro KMD7 Drum Microphone Set Product Description

5 Diverse Models

KM series are designed to provide exceptionally clear, articulate sound with excellent off-axis rejection for high gain before feedback in a live environment. The range consists of a variety of condenser and dynamic microphones. Combined the series as a whole works exeptionally well for drum kits, however each microphone performs as an individual also working as vocal and instrument mics in their own right.

The KMD-7 pack consists of two KM3's, a KM4 and four KM5's to provide a one stop drum microphone solution suitable for live and home studio use.

Pickup the signal, not the noise

The KM Series Microphones include feature super-cardioid & cardioid patterns to minimize feedback and to reject signals not originating in front of the microphone.

KM3 - Overhead

The KM3 is an end address small diaphragm condenser intended for use as a drum overhead microphone however it is equally suited to many other applications such as stringed instruments and piano. Two KM3's are supplied for stereo overhead coverage and come complete with a rubberized shockmount to ensure handling noise is minimized.

KM4 - Low end dynamic

The KM4 like the other dynamic models in the range utilize a neodymium magnet to provide exceptional low distortion at high output levels. Primarily designed for kick and tom applications it is also at home when used on bass, brass and amplifier cabinets.

KM5 - dynamic

The four KM5 microphones have a spring loaded adjustable drum-rim mounting bracket that ensures perfect positioning for snare and tom applications. The intelligent rim mounting ensures that the microphone will operate effectively and safely out of the range of sticks and beaters; in addition there is a cable tidy to ensure wiring is neat, tidy and safe.
