Product Description
The Austrian Audio DMK1 Drum Mic Set is a complete, premium solution for capturing a full drum kit with clarity, depth and consistency. Bringing together eight handcrafted microphones, dedicated drum mounts and a rugged touring case, it gives engineers and drummers everything they need to translate the character of their kit into a powerful, detailed mix. From the subtle shimmer of hi hats to the weight and punch of the kick, the DMK1 is designed to let every nuance be heard.
At the heart of the DMK1 is a carefully curated selection of Austrian Audio microphones, including three different large diaphragm condensers. This unique approach delivers a coherent, studio grade sound across the entire kit, with each mic voiced to excel in its specific role. Whether you are tracking in a professional studio or building a high end live rig, the DMK1 offers a flexible, future proof foundation that can grow with your needs.
Engineers will appreciate the consistency and reliability that comes from using a matched family of microphones. Phase coherence, tonal balance and transient response are all optimised, making it easier to achieve natural, musical drum sounds with less EQ and processing. For drummers, the result is a kit that feels alive in the speakers, with every ghost note, cymbal swell and tom hit captured in three dimensional detail.
Practical touches such as precision drum clips, dedicated windscreens and a waterproof case mean the DMK1 is ready for life on the road as well as in the studio. Setup is fast, repeatable and secure, so you can focus on performance and sound rather than wrestling with hardware. If you want a single, high quality package that unlocks the full potential of Austrian Audio microphones on drums, the DMK1 is built for the job.
Handcrafted Austrian Audio Microphone Lineup
The DMK1 brings together a full complement of Austrian Audio microphones tailored for drum duties, including the OC B6 for bass drum, OC18 and CC8 for overheads, OC7 for hi hat, and OD5 for snare and toms. Each mic is handcrafted and voiced for its specific position, giving you a cohesive, musical sound that sits together effortlessly in the mix.
Three Large Diaphragm Condensers for Unmatched Depth
Featuring three different large diaphragm condensers, the DMK1 offers a level of sonic depth and detail rarely found in a drum mic kit. This combination captures the full frequency range of the kit with exceptional clarity, from airy cymbals to the body and tone of shells, helping your recordings sound bigger, more open and more natural.
Precision Mounts and Windscreens Included
With dedicated DPH12 drum clips and CCW8 / OCW8 windscreens included in the box, the DMK1 makes it easy to position and protect your microphones. The mounts keep your mics securely in place on snares and toms, while the windscreens help control plosives and air movement, so you can achieve consistent results night after night.
Tour Ready Waterproof Case
The supplied waterproof case keeps the entire DMK1 set organised and protected between sessions and shows. Each microphone and accessory has its place, making transport and storage straightforward and giving you peace of mind when moving between studios, venues or rehearsals.
Features
- Complete Eight Mic Drum Solution - The DMK1 includes microphones for bass drum, overheads, hi hat, snare and toms, giving you a full, matched set straight out of the box. This saves time and guesswork when building a drum mic collection and ensures a coherent, professional sound across the entire kit.
- Three Distinct Large Diaphragm Condensers - By combining three different large diaphragm condensers, the DMK1 delivers exceptional detail and tonal richness. This unique configuration provides a wide, three dimensional image of the kit, ideal for modern productions that demand both impact and nuance.
- Included Drum Clips and Windscreens - Four DPH12 drum clips and dedicated CCW8 / OCW8 windscreens are included, so you can mount and protect your microphones without needing extra hardware. This makes setup faster and more reliable, whether you are working in the studio or on stage.
- Protective Waterproof Case - The robust waterproof case keeps all microphones and accessories safely stored and ready to travel. It helps prevent damage, keeps your kit organised and ensures that every component of the DMK1 arrives at the gig or session in top condition.
