The V KICK is one of the most compact and versatile drum microphones in its class intended for use with kick (bass) drums and other sources such as miking bass guitar speaker cabinets floor toms or other large drums where low-frequency energy is of the utmost importance. Its integrated swivel joint allows for any required mic placement and its specialized capsule provides a sound character tailored specifically for kick drums which can be further shaped with the use of two switches on the rear side of the microphone. From warm and classic to modern and aggressive the V KICK gives you any kick drum sound you need. The V KICK s extremely low profile allows for effortless placement outside or inside a kick drum with a wide range of swivel for easy positioning. And with the stand mount and the XLR connector mounted side-by-side in parallel on the underside of the mic your mic cables stay flush with the mic stand—no cable clutter completely minimal footprint and easy to place anywhere. From Classic to Modern: Switchable sonic voicing Two switches on the rear side of the V KICK allow you four different sound settings great for tailoring the sound for your specific project – and ideal for live shows with multiple bands and short changeovers. And since they re on the back of the mic these switches are still accessible even if the V KICK is placed inside a kick drum. With the V KICK you can always make the right choice with just a single microphone. The left-hand switch shapes the microphone s overall voicing with two selectable options. Classic provides a more traditional kick drum sound with a familiar low-frequency punch and a warmer more rounded sound. If a more contemporary aggressive sound is desired the Modern setting emphasizes the low end and high end (a scooped sound). The right-hand switch specifically tailors the microphone s high-frequency character. Classic provides a typical bite in the upper midrange (presence boost) and a more rounded and familiar sound while Modern provides an open clear and transient-rich top end for a more contemporary aggressive drum sound. Each of these switches is recessed slightly into the mic body to prevent unintentional adjustment and requires a small flathead screwdriver or similar implement to switch between settings. The V KICK also has an integrated swivel joint that allows for easy positioning inside or outside a kick drum. Its extremely low profile allows it to fit easily through the drum head port and the XLR cable and mic stand mount are in parallel to minimize cable clutter. The heart of the V KICK: the DMC7 SB capsule The custom DMC7 SB capsule offers the same technologies and features as its siblings within the acclaimed V7 and V7 X including the innovative specialized aluminum voice coil. While the V7 X is optimized for most other instruments the capsule in the V KICK has been custom-tuned for the very lowest and loudest tones. With aluminum being a much lighter material than the industry standard (copper) it delivers an open and transient-rich sound with effortless capture of low-frequency energy and punch. The midrange is also extremely balanced supporting the natural resonances of percussive instruments. The excellent off-axis rejection of this sophisticated capsule also helps isolate your kick drum from other sound sources on the stage – efficiently reducing stage bleed and spill from snare toms hi-hat and more. The supercardioid pattern also allows you to easily tailor the bottom-end by adjusting the proximity effect – i.e. distance to the sound source. Proven Neodymium magnets tight production tolerances and high workmanship ensure excellent sensitivity high-end sound quality and superb consistency. Unique patented design The V KICK s advanced internal capsule suspension efficiently decouples the capsule
