About This Item
The Heil PR48 Kick Drum Microphone is a professional dynamic microphone designed for kick drum and bass drum applications in both live stage and studio recording environments. It features a large diaphragm element with double shock-mount construction to help reduce vibration and handling noise, along with a cardioid-style directional design that supports focused instrument capture. With a maximum SPL handling of 148 dB, this XLR microphone is suitable for high-output sources and integrates with standard audio equipment such as preamps, amplifiers, and mixers. Built-in passive filtering shapes low-frequency response and beater attack, allowing for a usable drum sound directly from the mic. The steel housing supports durability for repeated use, while the included swivel mount and 45-degree angled XLR connector assist with positioning and cable management in drum kit and recording setups.
