Like all of the Avantone Drum Kits, the CDMK-7 comes with a vintage tweed case. If you look closely you will see that very little of the case is being used in terms of depth to hold the microphones, , or . The vast majority of the case is available for storage. Note the section on the left and right front sides of the case that is available to lift the Case Lid top up and out of the way to reach any accessories that the drummer is carrying, such as drumsticks, mics, cables, additional percussion, and so forth. These are the 2nd generation of drum mics from Avantone and a great deal of R&D effort has culminated in these rugged, great sounding drum mics. The Avantone Pro feel they represent the very finest drum microphone packages available, both for live clubs & concerts, as well as serious studio recording projects. The Avantone CDMK drum mics are truly gorgeous looking and sounding microphones. Their proprietary design, character and performance are made to set a new standard in drum mic'ing. A unique feature of all the dynamic drum mics in the Avantone CDMK series is a pair of machined insets on the barrel of each microphone body. These insets allow the O-rings of the SSM shockmount to "lock" the mic into place, which prevents mic shifting and slippage. Aesthetically, each mic features an elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim. Any studio or venue can proudly & confidently offer the Avantone CDMK-7 Drum Microphone Kit for professional use. All components are designed and manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability. MONDO Kick Drum Microphone The is the heart of the Avantone CDMK drum mic lineup. It offers a very aggressive frequency contour that sounds huge right out of the box, so most engineers will find little need for EQ ... plus as in all the Avantone mics ... No plastic to break! The has a die-cast zinc body with a steel and brass grill assembly, and features internal shockmounting on the capsule assembly to prevent the transmission of unwanted "rumble " from physical vibrations. ADM Snare Drum Microphone The is voiced to "follow" the familiar sound of industry standard snare mics. However, the Avantone Pro engineered a better low end and smoother, extended top end. The has a die-cast zinc body with a steel and brass grill assembly. Although the Avantone Pro call it a "snare drum mic", the is a versatile mic that is completely at home on high toms, bongos, congas, guitar cabinets, etc. ATOM Tom Microphone The adheres to the Avantone Pro overall tonal philosophy of "big sounding drums " and incorporates an oversize capsule that captures a huge low end as well as a penetrating attack. The is custom voiced to yield a fat, big sound that often requires no EQ at all! Because of the special voicing on the , it also is fantastic on djembe, large congas, and bass amp cabinets. Like the Avantone's MONDO kick drum mic, the has a die-cast zinc body with a steel and brass grill assembly, and features internal shockmounting on the capsule assembly to prevent the transmission of unwanted "rumble" from physical vibrations. CK-1 Condenser Microphone The are utilized for overheads. The mics feature cardioid capsules for accurate stereo image capturing. Each has a low frequency cutoff switch and 10dB attenuation switch for versatile tone shaping & signal control. It accurately captures the delicate nuances of the cymbals while rejecting sounds from interfering sources away from the kit. Each body and capsule assembly is precision machined from brass. The in its normal stock version uses high grade Polystyrene and Metalized Polypropylene capacitors in the audio path. This represents the Avantone's commitment to quality as these normally are the type of "upgrade" components that are implemented by microphone modder/hot-rodders! PK-1 PRO-KLAMP Mount The drum rim mic mounts are superb in allowing a confident positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic with three(!) stages of rubber dampening/decoupling material. This isolation allows for professional results without the need for tripod/boom stands. While it was designed to withstand the rigors of live stage gigging, it is the first drum rim mic mount that will reliably work in a pro-studio situation. This makes the engineers' job easier and insures that the mics will stay in place where he positions them. Each is built for reliability and is exceptionally rugged, with heavy-duty metal construction. SSM Shock Mount The are as rugged as you can find and allow for a superb decoupling of the mics from unwanted low-frequency transfer and rumble. This feature, coupled with the use of the , results in a much tighter, less muddy sound than other brands of drum mic kits. The O-rings are manufactured using a custom formula. The new world class Ethylene Propylene formula provides enormous resistance to breakage, resistance to surface nicks and remains supple and effective even against dry, hot temperatures. It has the best resistance to ozone and weathering, which makes it great for use around electronics devices, and maintains its physical properties even in a stretched condition. Each is constructed of heavy-duty die-cast zinc, which is not only incredibly durable but also adds mass, which contributes to vibration dampening/decoupling. Custom Tweed Case The custom vintage tweed case is hand-built for heavy-duty storage (and groovy-looking, to boot!). The metal corners, locking latches, high-density foam tray, and plush lining make this case very roadworthy while offering a visually unique design. Aesthetically, the case features a tweed and faux-alligator trim exterior, with a Cabernet wine-red plush lining. The slotted foam tray not only protects and stores each component of the drum mic kit, but also lifts out of the case to provide storage for cables, sticks, etc. Additionally, by removing the tray you are left with a fantastic and stylish piece of carry-on luggage.
