The Moon Mic is designed for bass kick drums or bass instruments with high SPL (sound pressure levels). The Moon Mic specializes in low frequencies.
The Moon Mic can be purchased WITH a Pearl Stand. If you would like to purchase the Moon Mic WITHOUT the stand, the mounting bracket will accommodate a 7/8 inch diameter tube.
There is No Need for an Attenuator (Pad). Moon Mic's low impedance, 250 ohms delivers a smooth signal. The Moon Mic will pick up custom ranges of frequencies coming from the kick drum without heavy EQ, compression, or any other signal processing. It does not require +48V Phantom power to operate.
A Moon Mic is an acoustic drum resonating head (skin) PICKUP! The Moon Mic will revolutionize the way you think about Mic-ing an acoustic drum. The Moon Mic microphone has a very large diaphragm that encompasses a large range of vibrations directly from the resonating head (skin). Positioning the microphone from the center of the drum (LOWS) to the rim (HIGHS) gives you control.Punch, sustain, and decay can be controlled by the distance between skin and microphone.
Moon Mic does require a quality sub system to achieve peak performance of the low end.
The following features make this microphone unique.
