Description

The Sontronics DM-1B Bass Drum/Bass Instrument Condenser Microphone is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.

Representing over two years of research, development and field testing, Sontronics DM-1B for kick drum and our pencil condensers (DM-1T for tom and DM-1S for snare) take Sontronics further into application-specific miking.
 
The DM-1B is a large-diaphragm, end-fire condenser microphone that has been designed specifically to capture and reproduce the various characteristics of a kick drum: the beater click, the heavy thump, the boomy decay and so on.
 
Sontronics DM-1B has a switchable -15dB pad that allows the microphone to deal with a whopping 155dB, and its sturdy build plus the aluminium flightcase mean it will perform equally well in the studio and in live applications.
 
The DM-1B and our other drum mics were all tested to destruction before launch, by various session drummers, live musicians and producers, including Flood (U2, Killers, Arctic Monkeys) who found that the DM-1B also gives excellent results on bass instruments, especially bass guitar cabs.

For a kick drum or bass instrument stand that stands out in the mix and is comparable to that offered by mics costing up to ten times the price, the Sontronics DM-1B is the obvious choice.

Quotes

“I used Sontronics drum mics with Flood at Assault & Battery where we compared them to mics costing significantly more. We were blown away by how good they sounded!” – Mark Rankin, Engineer/Producer (Florence & The Machine, Queens of the Stone Age, Plan B, Adele)
 
“The DM-1B is a thing of beauty… I tried it on a few bass drums and was immediately in love with its voicing as well as its look. It’s spacious and natural, totally focused on the characteristics you want to hear from your kick.” – Simon Edgoose, review for mikedolbear.com
 
“The results I’ve experienced with DM-1B, DM-1T and DM-1S have been amazing. I'm recording in a fairly small room and these mics capture the sound of the drums with all the punch and clarity that I need. The detail of the close mics is incredible!” – Pete Parada, Drummer for My Chemical Romance & The Offspring
