Avantone Pro CDMK-8

Avantone Pro CDMK8 aAvantone has packaged their second-generation drum mics into an 8-mic bundle that delivers killer sound and amazing value. Extensive research and development went into the mics in the Avantone CDMK-8 kit, resulting in road-tested designs that serve up a powerful, punchy rendition of any drum kit, onstage or in the studio. Unique to all SDMK series drum mics is a pair of machined insets on the microphone body which allow the included SSM shockmounts to lock the mics into place without slippage or shifting. Sweetwater engineers and drummers are impressed with the sound of these mics. Their classy Cabernet-red finishes, trimmed with polished nickel, look incredibly cool and professional. The Avantone CDMK-8 kit is the smart, convenient way to take care of your drum miking needs.

Features

• Designed for live clubs and concerts, as well as serious studio recording projects

• Die cast from zinc, with a brass and steel grill assembly
• Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grill assembly
• All components are designed and manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability
