Octava: D-Series Cardioid Dynamic Microphones for Drum Kit

2024: Launch of Dynamic Cardioid Microphones for Extended Low Band Drum Kit

Tula R&D The center Octava DM"" on December 27, 2024 announced the start of sales of dynamic cardioid microphones for a shock kit with an extended low-frequency range. The microphones are designed for a high sound pressure level and have special mounts for mounting on the rim of the drum, which allows you to use the product without additional racks.

The microphones are designed for various drum mount components, with the D1 designed to capture sound from the bass drum and the D2 from the volumes. Each of the microphones will be available for order separately. Despite the fact that the technique was developed specifically for drums, the D1 and D2 microphones are suitable for recording bass cabinets, guitar amplifiers, double basses, cellos and baritone horns.

To get balanced stereo sound of the drum kit, the manufacturer recommends using the Octave MK-012-01 stereo pair in the kit for instrument microphones D1 and D2. In this case, the stereo pair is used as the overhead microphones. The capacitor MK-012-01 is a universal microphone that has proven itself not only for recording instruments, but is also popular with sound film designers who create sound designs for explosions, crashes and other scenes with bright low-frequency sounds.

The choice of microphones for a drum kit is indeed a difficult task due to the peculiarities of the sound of percussion instruments and the many possible options for the arrangement of microphones. Each component of the drum kit requires a special approach when transmitting sound and mixing. We developed microphones for drums, guided by the desire to provide a ready-made solution that will make it easier for musicians and sound engineers to find high-quality sound. Thanks to the professionalism of the team and the immersion of the company's specialists in the world of music, the form factor and microphone caps turned out to be as thoughtful as possible, which allows you to achieve optimal sound without unnecessary hassle and time spent on setting up equipment, - commented Liubov Stalnova, General Director of Octava DM.
