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 ultrahigh 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. </p> <h3> One and Done </h3> <p> Snare Mic captures a snare drum's true impact, body and timbre while rejecting up to 28dB of off-axis sounds. This means clear, mix-ready sonics with optimal phase coherence straight out of the microphone. A single Snare Mic can replace the traditional multi-mic setup needed to capture the full spectrum of a snare drum. Its 3D sound even lets you hear the bottom snares through the top head when Snare Mic is placed at lower positional angles. At only 4.2", placement on even the most densely populated drum kit becomes effortless. And its vibration-resistant capsule means Snare Mic is ideal for both stand and rim-mounted applications. </p> <h3> Ready for the Stage or Studio </h3> <p> The Lauten Audio Snare Mic features a solid brass head frame with a mildew-resistant dust filter protects Snare Mic from stick hits, dust and debris on stage or in the studio. Snare Mic is not an instrument mic that works on snare drums. It is purpose-built to ensure the best snare drum sound in every situation, regardless of player, snare type, or location. Snare Mic’s hand-tuned capsule and dual-bias circuitry are based on the same technologies utilized in Lauten Audio’s award-winning Synergy Series microphones. </p> <h3> Onboard Sound Shaping </h3> <p> Snare Mic’s filters differ from those found on a mixing console, preamp, or DAW. Their impact on sonics and overall performance is much more significant than the labeling may lead you to believe. Snare Mic’s unaltered high-frequency response is designed for mix-ready sound. It maximizes stick crack and playing dynamics while delivering open, lifelike top-end air. Smooth out high end for a dynamic microphone-style sound. This setting balances the microphone's sound and adds a dip after 7kHz to help reduce cymbal bleed, followed by a slight increase from 12kHz–15kHz to help maintain a natural, open snare attack. Reduce extreme bleed caused by cymbal or stage volume. This setting creates a much smoother response from 1kHz–7kHz, with a slight rise in the 5–7kHz range, followed by an immediate dropoff after 7kHz so that more character, presence and attack can be EQ’d back into a sound without accentuating problematic high-frequency information. Allow all low-frequency information to pass for chest-pounding bottom end with each snare strike. Reduce low-frequency spillover from kick drums and toms while adding a slight presence boost to the sound of your snare drum. Retain the presence boost of your snare drum’s fundamental frequency while significantly reducing phase incoherence and spillover from kick drums and toms. </p>", "value":"398.00", "priceMin":"398.00", "priceMax":"398.00", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"28", "inventory":"12", "brand":"Lauten Audio", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"new", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"site1LC,site1DA,site1DB", "stickerText": ""}
