Behringer BC1200 7 Piece Cardioid Dynamic and Condenser Drum Microphone Set

Professional 7-Piece Drum Microphone Set for Studio and Live Applications

The Behringer BC1200 7 Piece Drum Microphone Set is a set of 7 drum microphones, perfect for micing up an entire drum set for both live and studio applications. Different sets of microphones are tuned to capture kick drums, toms, snares and cymbals efficiently. These compact and versatile microphones are suitable for precision and close mic recordings.

The included KM1200 large diaphragm dynamic capsule is specifically tuned for kick drums. Mount this mic onto a short microphone stand, then position it just inside the kick drum opening. Aim the mic directly at the beater for more attack, or toward the far edge of the drum for more resonant tone.

The four TM1200 medium diaphragm dynamic capsules are specifically tuned for toms and snares. Mount clamps onto each mic then attach onto the hoop of a tom or snare drum. The angle and distance from mic to drumhead is adjustable. Position each toward the center of the drumhead for best results.

The two CM1200 directional small diaphragm condenser capsules (requires 48V phantom power) are especially tuned for crash, hat and ride cymbals. Mount the mics onto a pair of tripod boom stands and position them to get the desired delicate/silky highs. Each mic should be positioned about 1 m (3 ft) above a ride cymbal and hi hat, pointing directly down. You can also have both mics positioned directly above the snare drum in an “XY” pattern, with capsule ends nearly touching, one pointing at ride cymbal and other at the hi hat.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Behringer BC1200 7 Piece Drum Microphone Set is a great option for anyone looking for an all-in-one drum micing setup at an affordable price.
