What makes the KickTone so special?

The KickTone microphone stands out in the audio world for its innovative design, which captures both the low-end "boom" and high-frequency "snap" of bass drums. What sets it apart is its dual-microphone structure. It combines a large 5.25-inch woofer with a second, coaxial dynamic element, allowing it to pick up both sub-bass frequencies (down to 10 Hz) and the upper mid-range (up to 10 kHz). This offers a fuller sound spectrum compared to traditional kick drum mics, which often lack high-end clarity.

One of the microphone’s unique features is its hemp diaphragm, which is both lightweight and rigid, providing natural damping and preventing sonic distortion. It also boasts an impressive ability to handle up to 175 dB of sound pressure, making it ideal for loud environments like live performances.

In terms of usability, the KickTone offers flexibility in mounting options. It can be attached directly to a bass drum’s resonant head using a KickPort, which reduces stage clutter and minimizes leakage from other instruments. This direct mounting helps capture a more isolated, defined sound, making it a preferred choice for both studio and live applications​
