AKG's Drum Mic Set Big II contains 1x D 112, 2x C 1000 S and 4x C 518 M, all in a protective aluminium carrying case.
D112:
The D 112 has earned a well-deserved reputation worldwide as the
best kick drum microphone ever made. Heavy-footed drummers won’t faze
it, because the D 112 handles up to 160 dB SPL with no audible
distortion. A specially engineered diaphragm with a very low
resonance frequency maintains solid and powerful response below 100 Hz,
while a narrow band presence rise at 4 kHz punches through dense mixes
with little or no added EQ. The result is a kick drum sound
that ideally balances precise definition and forceful impact. The D 112
is also an excellent choice for use with bass cabinets, trombones, etc.
Built in windscreen, SA 60 stand adapter included. C1000S:
The versatility of the C 1000 S makes this an extremely popular model,
and one ideally suited for all kinds of recording and live sound
applications. If no phantom power is available, the mic can be
powered by a standard 9 V battery, making it perfect for mobile use.
With its new battery monitoring electronics, the C 1000 S now features
a reliable LED warning light. The red LED above the the microphone
switch lights up when the remaining battery life falls below 45
minutes. The polar pattern can quickly be switched from cardioid to
hypercardioid simply by attaching the PPC 1000 Polar Pattern Converter
provided to the microphone capsule. The PB 1000 Presence Boost Adapter
also supplied with the C 1000 S adds 3 to 5 dB of high-end enhancement
between 5 and 9 kHz, improving clarity of speech and adding definition
to instrument sounds.
C518M:
The ultimate miniature condenser microphone for drums and
percussions. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects overspill from nearby
instruments. A continuously adjustable vise-type clamp makes it easy to
fix the microphone securely on the top hoop of most drums or percussion
instruments. An external shock mount provides high mechanical-noise
rejection. A special snap-on stabilizer knee will keep the gooseneck
bent at a defined angle. The C 518 M features an integrated, switchable
bass cut for adjusting the microphone’s frequency response to your
instrument’s sound. The unique adapter plate A 400 allows easy attachment of the AKG pocket transmitters.
