SMALL & MIGHTY

Snare Mic is a 4.2-inch FET condenser microphone designed & built to capture the best snare drum sound in every situation, regardless of player, snare type, or location.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE
SNARE DRUM.

X-RAY SOUND

A single Snare Mic can replace the traditional multi-mic setup needed to capture the full spectrum of a snare drum. Proper positioning even lets you hear the bottom snares through the top head.

BUILT FOR THE JOB

A solid brass headframe with a mildew-resistant dust filter protects Snare Mic from stick hits, dust, and debris on stage or in the studio.

28

dB

OFF-AXIS REJECTION

Snare Mic captures a snare drum's true impact, body, and timbre while rejecting up to 28dB of off-axis sounds. This means clear, mix-ready sonics with optimal phase coherence straight out of the microphone.
