DPA 4055 Kick Drum Microphone

DPA 4055 Kick Drum Microphone

Designed to kick the bass to the next level, the 4055 takes the traditional concept of a kick drum mic and turns it on its head - no more pre-tailored sound - now you can take sound design back into your own hands.

Features:

• Picks up the clear, true sound of the kick drum
• Flat frequency response so you can shape the sound your way
• Built tough to withstand rough use on the live stage
• Asymmetric design for easy placement inside or outside
