Features

The Samson 7KIT utilizes state-of-the-art microphone technology and each micro-
phone is engineered to the finest detail for the drum it is to be used on. Here are
some of the 7KIT’s main features:

Seven piece percussion microphone kit including one QKICK bass drum mic,
one QSNARE snare drum mic, three QTOM tom-tom mics and a matched pair
of C02 studio condensers for overheads.

The QKICK, QSNARE and QTOM are neodymium, dynamic percussion micro-
phones, designed from bottom to top, specifically for the drums they mic.

The C02 condensers have an extended frequency response range for optimum
reproduction and exceptionally clear, crisp sound with great transient response
making them ideal for cymbals and overhead miking.

Extended frequency range, contoured and optimized for each drum providing
deep low end and snappy attacks.

Integral, multi-adjustable mounting clip allows the QSNARE and QTOM to be
easily mounted on any standard drum rim, therefore eliminating the need for
an additional mic stand.

Tight super cardioid polar patterns minimizes feedback problems and effective-
ly rejects unwanted signals from other drums in the kit.

Capable of withstanding high SPLs, lending themselves to a wide range of
close miking applications above or below and inside and outside the drums.

The QKICK, QSNARE and QTOM employ ultra sensitive neodymium elements
that pick up all of the nuances of any performance.

Lightweight and compact, the QSNARE and QTOM can be mounted on any
standard tom-tom and easily positioned to stay out of the way of your playing.

Rugged Die-cast and ABS case construction ensures reliable performance in
even the most demanding environments.

Included foam-lined, impact resistant carrying case for convenience when
transporting the microphones from venue to venue.

Gold plated XLR Connectors.
