Snare drums are the lifeblood of music. The materials, tuning, and way they are played tell us exactly how and what anyone should feel about a composition. Snare drums should be honoured, but instead, they are often poorly recorded, heavily manipulated, or replaced entirely for various reasons.

Snare Mic is the only purpose-built FET condenser microphone made explicitly for snare drums. It ensures that each snare drum's distinct characteristics, impact, tone, and dynamics are captured with sample-quality sound at the microphone.

Snare Mic’s frequency response, SPL handling, and ultra-high dynamic range are made to ensure chest-pounding fundamental frequencies, tangible timbre, and explosively musical top-end impact with every note. Add on Snare Mic’s ability to reject up to 28dB of off-axis sounds, and you get professional, mix-ready results straight out of the box.

Features

• 12kHz High Cut: Smooths out high-end, reduces cymbal bleed, maintains natural snare attack
• 5kHz High Cut: Reduces extreme bleed, creates smoother response, enhances snare presence
• Flat Low Cut: Allows all low-frequency information for powerful bottom-end
• 80Hz Low Cut: Reduces low-frequency spillover, adds slight presence boost
• 140Hz Low Cut: Retains presence boost, significantly reduces phase incoherence and spillover
