The most compact & flexible drum mic in its class. Superior isolation and effortless performance for snares & toms, all with minimal footprint and maximum flexibility. The V BEAT is the most compact drum microphone in its class, intended for use with snare or tom drums. Its specialised capsule provides a highly detailed, extremely natural sound character on snares or toms of any size, with amazing off-axis rejection to minimise bleed from nearby drums and cymbals. Its ultra-compact design and parallel XLR connector & stand mount give it the smallest footprint in its class, and its rock-solid swivel mount allows its angle to be adjusted with great precision. You can aim it at almost any part of the drum head to achieve whatever sound character is required.
