Description

The Moon Mic features a patented, curved housing and specially-selected diaphragm that delivers warm, accurate bass response. The revolutionary design captures the hard to retrieve resonant frequencies of any bass drum to create a complete tonal spectrum. Its not just another bass drum microphone; its a Moon Mic.

Patented Radius Housing
Inverter Switch
Included DW Stand and Mounting Bracket
Perfect for Studio and Live Applications
Excellent for Bass Drums, Floor Toms, and Bass Cabinets

A Moon Mic is an acoustic drum resonating head (skin) Microphone! 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. 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 DK27 microphone comes with a DW mounting stand, allowing the stability, durability, and versatility you’ve come to expect from DW. No need for an Attenuator (Pad). Moon Mic’s low impedance, 250 ohms delivers a smooth signal. The Moon Mic will receive a custom range of frequencies coming from the kick drum without heavy EQ, compression, or any other signal processing. +48V Phantom power not required to operate. With an 8-inch diaphragm, Dynamic moving coil and a custom passive filter, the DK-27 microphone has an excellent signal to noise ratio. The Moon Mic absorbs resonating true frequencies directly off the front head. The large diaphragm recovers sub low frequencies with amazing tone clarity and “Attack”. The “Attack” and punch can be controlled by the size of the port hole sampling.
