The Sontronics DM-1B is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern, designed specifically for use with kick drum and bass instruments.

Thanks to its high sensitivity, low self-noise, a -15dB attenuation pad and the ability to handle up to 155dB SPL, the DM-1B delivers outstanding results on kick drum and also sounds fantastic on bass guitar cabinets, and other low-end instruments.

Its incredible power handling will capture all the attack, resonance and energy from your kick drum and other bass instruments like nothing you've ever heard before!
Because of the way DM-1B captures sound, it will also give brilliant results on any other instruments with low-frequency bias, from trombone and tuba to tenor or baritone saxophone, double bass and organ. Users also tell us that it sounds great on deep male vocals as well as rap and beatboxing.

The DM-1B is designed with its fixed cardioid capsule facing out of the top end of the microphone (end-fire style) and can be positioned either to the front head of the drum or even pushed towards or slightly inside the soundhole of the kick drum.

The DM-1B is supplied with its adjustable yoke mount in a sturdy aluminium flightcase and is covered by Sontronics' lifetime warranty.
