PL33 Dynamic bass drum microphone
PL33 Dynamic bass drum microphone
A supercardioid dynamic engineered to capture the power, punch, and snap of kick drum.
Drop it in the kick and let the low end hit. The PL33 is frequency-contoured for a dialed-in kick sound (tight bottom, modified mid-range, fast transient response) so the beater snap and the chest-thump both land. A powerful neodymium magnet structure drives the output, the supercardioid pattern locks out cymbal and stage bleed for higher gain before feedback, and a fine-mesh Memraflex grille shrugs off abuse. Stadium kit, club stage, studio tracking room: and it doubles on low toms and bass cab.
Key features
Kick that lands
Frequency contoured for tight low end, modified mids, and beater snap.
Catch every hit
Fast transient response keeps the percussive detail intact.
Isolated from the kit
Supercardioid pattern rejects off-axis bleed for higher gain before feedback.
Strong, clean output
Powerful neodymium magnet structure drives the signal.
More than the kick
Works on low toms and bass guitar cabinets too.
Dial bass by distance
Bass response climbs as you work closer than 6 inches: placement shapes the low end.
