The affordable PGADRUMKIT6 complete package contains special microphones for drum miking. It includes a PGA52 bass drum microphone, two PGA56 drum microphones, a PGA57 and a PGA81 instrument microphone as well as two clamps, six XLR cables and a transport case.

This true condenser microphone is characterised by enormous versatility thanks to its tonal neutrality and careful design. The features of the MC 950 include a wide frequency range of 40 - 20,000 Hz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 72 dB.The MC 950 is ideally suited as a main and support microphone for miking choirs, pianos, organs, orchestras and most solo instruments. Thanks to the switchable pre-attenuation of 15 dB, it is also ideally suited for use at very high sound levels. The switchable 6 dB/octave attenuation below 250 Hz compensates for the proximity effect.Together with the WS101 windscreen, the MC 950 can be used as a microphone for speech and vocals. The MC 950 works with phantom power from 11 - 52 V and can therefore be used with almost any microphone preamplifier in studio and live applications as well as in installations. Thanks to its largely frequency-independent supercardioid characteristic, the MC 950 has excellent directivity combined with high rear cancellation. This not only makes it a first-class tool in the studio, but also enables it to be used in sound reinforcement applications where excellent sound and maximum feedback immunity are required.

The ribbon microphones of the R84 series offer the classic tonality of the legendary R44, with extended top end and reduced proximity effect for recordings in the mid and near frequency range.

The Sontronics Podcast Pro is a high-quality microphone with a supercardioid characteristic that has been developed and optimised for use as a speech and vocal microphone for podcasting, radio, gaming and voice recording. Its speciality is capturing speech with the best clarity, but vocal and instrument recordings are also easily achieved with the Podcast Pro. The integrated background noise filters and a fine-meshed pop filter, in conjunction with the supercardioid, enable broadcast-quality recordings in the home studio, in a professional environment or in mobile use without additional equipment. The mounting bracket enables effortless and secure attachment to any conventional table stand, boom stand or swivelling stand and the XLR connection allows the Podcast Pro to be set up quickly and easily. The British manufacturer Sontronics emphasises the quality of its products with a lifetime guarantee on all microphones.

The C 562 CM built-in boundary layer contains the same microphone capsule as the C 562 BL. This product variant has been specially developed for fixed installations where the microphone needs to be installed as unobtrusively as possible in a wall, ceiling, table or stage prop.The high sensitivity of this capsule is particularly suitable for monitoring purposes or recordings where only one microphone is required to record an entire room. The C 562 CM is supplied with an XLR phantom power adapter, which has a 3.5 mm plug coupling between the microphone and XLR plug.This means that the diameter of the XLR adapter does not need to be taken into account for installation.

With the OC7, the Austrian manufacturer presents a true condenser microphone with an innovative "swivel joint" mechanism.Sound engineers and musicians are certainly familiar with the problem of microphone stands that are screwed on too tightly and can hardly be reached in the stand forest. Once you have finally solved this problem, they lose their position completely - just because you wanted to change the microphone angle by a few degrees. To make it easier to position the instrument microphone, Austrian Audio's engineers have developed a suspension system for the microphone basket that allows it to rotate 220°. This allows the microphone to be aligned precisely to the sound source or according to personal sound preferences without having to laboriously adjust or loosen the microphone stand. Various annoyances such as microphones falling over or fingers getting caught on the microphone stand are now a thing of the past.Precise directional characteristics are a prerequisite for accurate and precise alignment of a microphone. The microphone basket and the suspension of the capsule are designed in such a way that acoustic interference is avoided. Thanks to the Open Acoustics technology, sound from the rear can also penetrate the capsule, resulting in an extremely precise cardioid characteristic. This "linear cardioid" means that not only sound coming from the front but also from the rear or side sounds good and unaltered. This means that even the sometimes unavoidable cross-talk from other instruments sounds good.The true condenser capsule of the OC7 is perfectly protected by the microphone basket and can therefore be positioned without hesitation even where the microphone is exposed to shocks. The OC7 is equipped with a second-order high-pass filter with an operating frequency of 40 or 80 Hz. A -10dB pad, which leads to a lower sensitivity by reducing the capsule voltage, allows the microphone to be used in front of the loudest sound sources. With an outstanding max. 154 dB SPL (>160 dB SPL with pad), the OC7 is extremely resistant to overload.Thanks to its open and transparent sound, the OC7 is also a very flexible instrument microphone. Due to the strengths of the OCC7 small diaphragm capsule, which is handmade in Vienna, it is ideally suited for all instruments that have particularly lively transients. This includes all types of percussion instruments including snare and toms on drums, but also piano and acoustic guitar. The open, silky sound is also an excellent match for string instruments.

Professional dynamic microphone with supercardioid characteristic:In the field of high-quality dynamic microphones, MIPRO relies on proven neodymium technology with a high dynamic range and precise sound reproduction. The specially developed multi-layer microphone baskets used here also reduce pop noise without colouring the sound and the flexible microphone capsule suspension reduces structure-borne noise and handling noise. The wired and wireless microphones from MIPRO are therefore ideally suited for all speech and vocal applications as well as for miking instruments.The MM-59 is a vocal microphone designed for stages of all sizes. It is a favourite for professional musicians and sound engineers, especially on very loud stages. The consistent supercardioid characteristic isolates the voice, suppresses background noise from e.g. adjacent instruments and minimises feedback. The MM-59 sounds powerful and present. It adds more subtlety to the sound, especially in the treble range. The MM-59's neodymium magnet has a high sensitivity for higher output levels and clearer, more brilliant highs. The MM-59's multi-layer metal grille effectively protects against damage and reduces pop noise. It has a lockable on/off switch.

The TLM 103 is the ideal large diaphragm microphone for all those who do not want to do without uncompromisingly professional technology despite tight budget limits. It works with the transformerless circuit technology already proven in numerous Neumann microphones, offers an unrivalled low self-noise level and maximum dynamic range. The cardioid capsule used is particularly well-balanced acoustically and has excellent cancellation for rear sound incidence. An SG 1 metal stand joint and a wooden case are included in the scope of delivery.

The 520DX is a legendary microphone for the harmonica. It is also known as the "green bullet" or "bicycle lamp". With its compact size and contoured shape, the 520DX fits perfectly between the harmonica and the hand.

The directivity quality and attention to detail make the MMC4011 cardioid microphone capsule a solution that makes everything sound like the original. The first-order cardioid polar pattern ensures excellent separation of the sound sources.A linear on-axis frequency response and an excellent phase response ensure faithful reproduction of the original. The off-axis frequency response is similarly homogeneous and interferences are reproduced accurately and attenuated in accordance with the first-order cardioid characteristic.Due to its modularity, the d:sign 4011 cardioid microphone can be combined with podium booms of different lengths - 15, 30 or 45 cm. If longer booms are required for floor stands with an elegant look, our long booms with 75 or 120 cm and our special accessories for a high-quality stage vocal microphone are available.

The active NUVO N8 is a modern ribbon microphone that captures the natural live sound of instruments in a room as they would sound in person - with all the subtleties and nuances. It effortlessly captures complex sources such as drums, strings, piano and other instruments that can produce intricate transients, harsh highs and powerful lows.

This microphone delivers clear and transparent sound quality with plenty of headroom. For years, this was the preferred headworn microphone for broadcasters and theatres on Broadway as well as in many auditoriums and lecture theatres. This is due to its pristine sound and durability.The headband design is unique. The microphone boom can be detached from the headband and reattached on either the left or right side. The often problematic humidity in the theatre is not an issue here. This microphone was designed with a double-vent protection system and drop-stop in the microphone boom. The materials in the microphone itself are also waterproof. Thanks to these design elements, it is virtually impossible for the microphone to fail due to moisture.The sensitivity of the microphone is 6 mV/Pa. This matches the level of the human voice to the general input sensitivity of most wireless transmitters. With the appropriate power supply, the microphone can handle very high sound pressure levels of up to 144 dB SPL before clipping.
