The Milab BDM-01 is a bass drum microphone for studio as well as live sound applications. The microphone is designed to handle the sound pressure level and specific sonic characteristics of a kick drum. The high-end condenser capsule provides excellent attack and HF response, and the frequency curve is tailored for the perfect bass drum sound.
The dynamic range, sensitivity and pop filters are optimized for the typical sound and pressure of the bass drum. The heart of the microphone is Milab's handmade 21 mm condenser capsule that captures the true sound of the drum with a full sound and attention to detail that is simply superior to a typical, dynamic microphone.
The microphone can handle massive sound pressure levels of up to 155 dB. As a result, the self-noise is slightly higher than normal, as we find with similar kick drum microphones.
