Avantone Pro CDMK8 8-Mic Drum Microphone Kit

Complete 8-Microphone Drum Kit for Professional Studio and Live Sound
The Avantone Pro CDMK8 8-Mic Drum Microphone Kit is a comprehensive solution for capturing the full detail of a drum kit. Designed for studio recording and live performances, this set includes specialized dynamic and condenser microphones that accurately reproduce every element of your drum sound. The MONDO kick drum microphone, ADM snare microphone, and three ATOM tom microphones ensure powerful, punchy tones, while the CK-1 condenser microphones provide precise cymbal and overhead capture. With rugged construction and tailored frequency responses, this kit is built to handle high sound pressure levels while maintaining clarity and depth.

MONDO Kick Drum Microphone for Deep and Powerful Low End
The MONDO kick drum microphone is engineered for capturing the full impact of a bass drum with aggressive frequency contouring that enhances both low-end depth and attack. Capable of handling extreme sound pressure levels up to 145 dB SPL, this microphone delivers a focused, punchy sound with minimal need for post-processing. Its internal shockmount reduces unwanted vibrations, preventing rumble and ensuring a clean low-end response.

ADM Snare Drum Microphone for Crisp Attack and Enhanced Tonality
The ADM dynamic snare drum microphone is designed to deliver a well-balanced snare sound with rich low-end response and an extended high-end for added detail. Built with a cardioid pickup pattern, it isolates the snare from surrounding instruments, reducing bleed for a cleaner recording. The ADM also serves as a versatile option for high toms, bongos, congas, and even guitar cabinets, making it a flexible choice for multi-purpose miking.

Three ATOM Tom Microphones for Deep, Resonant Drum Tones
The CDMK8 includes three ATOM tom microphones, each built with an oversized capsule that captures the natural depth and impact of floor and rack toms. These microphones are tailored to bring out the rich resonance of tom drums while ensuring a well-defined attack. The internal shockmounting system minimizes vibration interference, resulting in a clear, professional-quality drum tone. These mics also perform exceptionally well on larger percussion instruments such as congas, djembes, and bass cabinets.

CK-1 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones for Overhead Clarity
This kit includes two CK-1 cardioid condenser microphones and one CK-1 hypercardioid condenser microphone, designed to capture overhead cymbals and room ambience with pristine clarity. Featuring an 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble and a -10 dB attenuation switch for handling high SPL sources, these microphones ensure balanced and detailed cymbal reproduction. Their directional pickup patterns help isolate cymbal sounds while rejecting unwanted stage noise.

Durable Drum Rim Mounts for Secure and Adjustable Placement
The CDMK8 comes with four PK-1 PRO-KLAMP drum mic mounts, allowing for precise microphone positioning directly on snare and tom rims. These mounts eliminate the need for bulky microphone stands while reducing unwanted vibrations through three stages of rubber dampening. Designed for stability and easy adjustment, these mounts provide a reliable solution for drum mic placement in any performance or recording environment.

Heavy-Duty Construction with a Custom Vintage Tweed Carrying Case
Each microphone in the CDMK8 kit is built for durability, with die-cast zinc bodies for the dynamic mics and solid brass construction for the CK-1 condensers. With no plastic components, these microphones are designed to withstand the demands of frequent use. The entire kit is housed in a rugged, vintage-style tweed case with reinforced metal corners, locking latches, and a plush interior lining. The high-density foam insert securely holds all microphones and accessories, while additional storage space is available by removing the foam layer.
