Overview
The Sontronics DM-1T is your passport to drum sound perfection, meticulously engineered to capture incredible detail from your tom-toms. Whether you are recording in the studio, tracking at home, or performing on the road, this small-diaphragm condenser microphone guarantees unmatchable results. It perfectly captures all the unmistakable characteristics of your drums, from the sharp crack of the initial stick hit right through to the deep, boomy resonance of a floor tom.
Beyond the drum kit, the DM-1T sounds superb on a wide variety of other percussion instruments, including the cajón, djembe, bongos, tabla, and congas. To easily accommodate even the heaviest of hitters, it features a switchable -10dB attenuation pad, allowing the microphone to withstand an impressive maximum sound pressure level of 135dB without distorting. Compact and rugged, it easily fits into tight drum setups without getting in the drummer's way.
