Behringer BC1200

Cymbal Microphones

The CM1200 directional small diaphragm condenser capsules are especially tuned for crash, hat and ride cymbals. Mount the mics onto a pair of tripod boom stands and position them to get the desired delicate/silky highs. Each mic should be positioned about 1 m (3 ft) above a ride cymbal and hi hat, pointing directly down. You can also have both mics positioned directly above the snare drum in an “XY” pattern, with capsule ends nearly touching, one pointing at ride cymbal and other at the hi hat.

(Note that these mics require 48 V phantom power for operation)
