DW DSMM7000L Moon Mic™ - Silver Acoustic Drum Resonating Head Microphone with Stand

The Moon Mic from Drum Workshop [DW] features a patented, curved housing and specially-selected diaphragm that delivers warm, accurate bass response, and engineered for use with bass drums or other bass-frequency instruments. Its revolutionary design is an acoustic drum resonating head (skin) Microphone that captures the hard-to-retrieve resonant frequencies of bass drums and instruments to reproduce a complete tonal spectrum. The Moon Mic will revolutionize the way you think about Mic-ing an acoustic drum. It's equipped with a very large diaphragm that encompasses a large range of vibrations directly from its resonating head.

8" Diaphragm

The Moon Mic's 8" diaphragm, along with Dynamic moving coil and custom passive filter give it an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio. It absorbs and picks up resonating true frequencies directly from the front head. Additionally, the large diaphragm recovers sub-low frequencies with remarkable clarity of tone and "attack". This "attack", as well as the "punch" is controllable via the size of the port hole sampling.

Sustain is controlled using:

A) Closer mic placement to the rim

B) Distance, volume, and EQ relationship

C) Gate

D) Basic setup of the drum itself and muffling the head

It's especially made for bass kick drums or bass instruments with high SPL (sound pressure levels). The Moon Mic includes a DW mounting stand, which provides the stability, durability, and versatility you've come to expect from DW. No need for an Attenuator (Pad), as its low 250 ohm impedance delivers a smooth signal.

It will pick up a wide range of frequencies emanating from the kick drum, or any bass-frequency instrument, without the need for heavy EQ, compression, or any other signal processing. And there's no +48V phantom power requirement for operation.

It's not just another bass drum microphone, its the Moon Mic.
