Product Description
The Sontronics DM-1T and DM-1S, along with the DM-1B represent the British mic brand's first foray into direct drum miking. The microphones took over two years of research, development and testing and, like all Sontronics mics, they offer the best quality and the most professional sounding results but at an incredible price.
The Sontronics DM-1T and DM-1S have been meticulously designed by Sontronics' founder and designer, Trevor Coley, to capture the exact characteristics of your tom and snare: the skin slap, the snare rattle, the attack, boom, decay and so on. Rather than create one mic that gets good results from either/or snare and tom, these mics have a slightly different frequency response graph to get exceptional results from each drum.
Like the DM-1B (our condenser mic for kick drum and bass instruments), these end-fire pencil-style condensers both have a -10dB pad switch that allow the mics to cope with up to 135dB SPL, and we know that all our drum mics work really well both live and in the studio.
The Sontronics DM-1T and DM-1S have been thoroughly tested to their limits by various session drummers, live musicians and producers, including Flood (U2, Killers, Arctic Monkeys) and Mark Rankin (Friendly Fires, Florence & The Machine). Hear your drumkit in a whole new dimension thanks to Sontronics’ impressive and unmatchable DM-series mics.
Quotes
“For the new Friendly Fires album we had the DM-1S and another mic that cost ten times more on snare. We had to keep checking the patching because we thought the DM-1S was the £1,000 mic. Incredible!” - Mark Rankin, Engineer/Producer (Florence & The Machine, Queens of the Stone Age, Plan B, Adele)
“These mics capture a full and present sound from both toms and snare with a good transient punch and total clarity. Very competitively priced for the results you can achieve.” - Rhythm Magazine
“The results I’ve experienced with DM-1B, DM-1T and DM-1S have been amazing. I'm recording in a fairly small room and these mics capture the sound of the drums with all the punch and clarity that I need. The detail of the close mics is incredible!”- Pete Parada, Drummer for My Chemical Romance & The Offspring
