Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the 7KIT percussion microphone kit from
Samson Audio! We understand that the sound of your drum kit is extremely personal
and important to your livelihood, so we carefully designed the 7KIT as a complete
solution specifically for miking your drum kit. The 7KIT includes the QKICK for your
bass drum, a QSNARE for your snare drum, and for your tom-toms, three QTOM
mics will more than “fill-in”. In addition, to capture the brilliance of your cymbals and
the overall ambient sound of your drum set, we’ve included a matched pair of our C02
studio condensers. Special attention in the construction of the neodymium elements,
together with precise capsule porting produces a frequency response that has been
carefully contoured for each of the specific drums in your kit. Thunderous low end
from the bass drum, crisp and punchy attack on snare plus thick and defined tom-tom
sounds are easy to get with this powerful complement of percussion mics. In addition
to the great sound, the QSNARE and QTOM feature an integral mounting clip that
easily installs on any standard drum rim. The multi-adjustable mounting clip allows
you to carefully position the mic and completely eliminates the need for external mic
stands which can be difficult to position around cymbal stands. Thanks to the great
sound and flexible mounting solution, the 7KIT excels in both live performance and
recording applications.
