Wharfedale Pro has introduced the KM Series dynamic microphone pack engineered primarily for drums but also suited for many other instrument applications.
All of the KM Series models share the same rugged cast zinc construction, unidirectional polar responses, exceptional feedback rejection, gold plated XLR connectors and dent resistant steel grilles. The KM pack is presented in a heavy duty foam lined plastic case.
The KMD-7 pack consists of two KM3s, a KM4 and four KM5s.
The KM3 is an end address small diaphragm condenser intended for use as a drum overhead microphone, and could also be used for applications such as stringed instruments and piano. Two KM3s are supplied for stereo overhead coverage and come with a rubberized shock-mount to ensure handling noise is minimized.
The KM4, like the other dynamic models in the range, utilizes a neodymium magnet to provide low distortion at high output levels. Primarily designed for kick and tom applications, it is also suitable for bass, brass and amplifier cabinets.
The KM5 has a spring-loaded adjustable drum-rim mounting bracket that ensures exact positioning for snare and tom applications. The intelligent rim mounting also helps keep the microphone safely out of the range of sticks and beaters.
The KMD-7 pack is priced at £264.50 (approximately $436 USD) including VAT; all models are available individually and are shipping now.
