Product Description

Ensure your drumming comes through loud and clear on stage -- and your mics come home safe and sound -- with the AKG Drum Set Premium Microphone Package. Stocked with AKG's studio-grade microphones, including the legendary C451 B pencil condenser and a pair of the workhorse C214 large-diaphragm condensers, this kit is a worthy addition to any studio's microphone locker.

Package Contents:

- One D12 VR large-diaphragm cardioid dynamic microphone
- Two C214 large-diaphragm condenser microphones
- One C451 B small-diaphragm condenser microphone
- Four D40 dynamic microphones
- Four K&M 24030 microphone holders
- Protective aluminum carrying case

D12 VR Reference Kick Drum and Bass Microphone

Specifically designed for kick drum, AKG's D12 VR cardioid dynamic microphone with original C414 transformer has an ultra-thin diaphragm that enhances low-frequency performance. Without phantom power, the microphone delivers the pure character of the sound source. And with phantom power enabled, one of three switchable active-filter presets can be used to quickly adapt the microphone response to suit your desired kick drum sound. In fact, the D12 VR's versatile tone-shaping abilities earned it a 2012 Best of Show rating from ProSound Network.

Two C214 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones

Designed as a cost-effective alternative to the industry-leading C414 microphones, AKG's C214 microphone uses the same 1" dual capsule as the legendary C414, but in a single-diaphragm, cardioid-only design. The C214's edge-terminated capsule delivers a highly detailed, up-front sound that brings out every nuance of practically any voice or instrument. And with its switchable -20 dB attenuation pad and low cut filter, the microphone can be used on stage for close-up miking for even very loud applications like drum overheads. The C 214's roadworthy construction includes a modern scratch-resistant finish, a dent-resistant, double mesh, all metal grille, and a gold-plated XLR-type output. " ... delivers a highly detailed, up-front sound ... very accurate and solid bottom end, incredible dynamic range ... an excellent choice." --FutureMusic (10 out of 10 rating)

C451 B Condenser Microphone

The AKG C451 B microphone is the latest model in a series that dates back to 1969. Responding to growing demand, AKG made the C451 B with the same acoustic performance as the original C451 EB + CK 1, but with dramatically improved specs. Using an extremely light diaphragm, the C451 B is almost totally insensitive to handling noise. Its all-metal body provides excellent protection from RF interference and high reliability for excellent results under almost all conditions. The C451 B is excellent for accurately capturing signals rich in transients such as drums.

Four D40 Dynamic Instrument Microphones

Designed for drums and percussion, the AKG D40 microphone's rugged, all-metal body is also built to withstand the rigors of the road. The D40's patented Varimotion diaphragm's deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm itself to be fine-tuned with no need for tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance.

Four K&M 24030 Microphone Holders

Easily mount microphones directly to your drums with this set of four K&M 24030 microphone holders. These unique mic mounts keep your microphones in place with 3/8" threads, while rubber inserts to absorb shock and noise. The attached thumbscrew means there are no parts to lose. zZounds is an authorized dealer of AKG products.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
