Items Included

• AKG Drum Set II Drum and Percussion Microphone Package with Case

·       The AKG C518M is a high quality, miniature microphone designed for capturing drums and percussion instruments for crucial recording and live sound applications. The C518M features an adjustable vice that allows mounting on the top ring of toms, snare drums, congas, and much more.

·       The cardioid polar pattern reduces feedback and minimizes noise and leakage that may occur from adjacent instruments. An adjustable gooseneck provides stable microphone placement and a low-cut filter reduces low-frequency noise, rumble, etc. The C518M is sure to be an efficient tool for crucial recording, project studio recording and live sound reinforcement.

Key Specs

·       Polar Pattern: Cardioid, which helps reject overspill and noise from nearby instruments. [1, 2]

·       Mounting: Features a continuously adjustable vise-type rim clamp for secure attachment to drum or percussion hoops. [1, 2]

·       Gooseneck & Shock Mount: Includes a bendable gooseneck with a snap-on stabilizer and full-metal housing with an integrated shock mount. [1, 2]

·       Bass Cut: Equipped with a switchable bass cut (via the included MPAV adapter) to adjust the frequency response. [1, 2]

·       Connectivity: Connects via a mini-XLR to standard XLR cable

• AKG D 112 Microphone

·       The pop recording industry often prefers selected models of dynamic microphones for pickup of closely-spaced bass drums and bass guitar amplifiers, because the moving system of the dynamic can be designed to handle these high excursions with very high mechanical linearity. The AKG D 112 Microphone is a descendent of AKG's earlier D12 dynamic microphone, and is widely known for its ability to handle high level signals from bass drums and bass guitars in the studio. The microphone has been designed with a low resonance frequency and can handle very high transient signals with virtually unmeasurable distortion; it has an enormous dynamic range with a very high signal/noise ratio and the capacity to input very high sound levels without distorting. High frequency response has been tailored to keep both bass drum and bass guitar clearly distinguishable in the mix. A built-in windscreen makes the D 112 also suitable for high SPL instruments such as the trombone and tuba.

Key Specifications & Features

• Type: Large-diaphragm dynamic moving-coil microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. [1, 2]
• Frequency Range: 20 Hz to 17,000 Hz, featuring a low-resonance frequency for a powerful response below 100 Hz and a narrow-band presence boost around 3,500–4,000 Hz to help instruments cut through dense mixes. [1, 2, 3]
• Max SPL: Handles sound pressure levels up to 160 dB SPL without audible distortion. [1]
• Impedance & Connection: 210 ohms (originally 200 ohms) with a 3-pin XLR male interface. [1]
• Design: Recognizable egg-shaped enclosure with an integrated hum-compensation coil to minimize electromagnetic interference

• Metal Road Case 
• All Mic's are working perfectly.
