Roswell Pro Audio KD Kick Drum Microphone

The Mini K47 KD is a handbuilt microphone for high SPL applications: kick drum, floor tom, bass cab, brass. (It is not recommended for vocal applications; see the standard Mini K47 instead, which is optimized for sources that are not 130dB+ SPL, e.g. voice/guitar/anythingotherthandrums).

We've retained our incredibly popular K47 capsule, as found in the Mini K47. We've crafted a new circuit that is optimized for high SPL capture with minimal noise, huge bottom end, and high headroom.

The Mini K47 KD ships with our exclusive Cutaway™ shockmount, in a flight case.

Pair the Mini K47 KD with a matched pair of the Mini K47, Mini K67x, or Mini K87 for a 3-piece drum recording solution. Add a MicParts Snare Mic (see the micparts website) too.

All Roswell microphones are assembled in California using high-grade components (1% tolerance, 50ppm resistors from Vishay and PRP, vintage film capacitors and transistors, etc) and high-touch processes (transistors are individually selected and biased, capacitors are matched where necessary) and tested extensively through a 7-point QC process, following a 24-hr burn-in on our conditioning rack. This Reverb listing is for microphones shipped directly from Roswell World HQ in Santa Rosa, California.
