What microphones are included in the Behringer BC1200 set?

The BC1200 set provides a comprehensive 7-piece collection for miking your drum kit. It includes one KM1200 kick drum microphone, four TM1200 microphones ideal for toms and snare, and two CM1200 condenser microphones perfect for overheads or hi-hats. This versatile selection ensures you have the right mic for each part of your kit.

What kind of sound can I expect from these microphones?

The Behringer BC1200 set delivers clear, punchy sound for your drums. The dynamic mics (KM1200, TM1200) are designed to capture the impact and body of your drums, while the CM1200 condensers provide detailed, articulate capture for cymbals and overall kit ambience. All mics feature a cardioid polar pattern to help reduce unwanted bleed and focus on your drums.

Are these microphones suitable for loud drummers or heavy hitting?

Absolutely. The BC1200 microphones are built to handle high sound pressure levels (SPLs) common with drums. This robust design ensures clear, undistorted audio even from the loudest drum performances, making them reliable for live gigs or studio recording.

Do the CM1200 condenser microphones require phantom power?

Yes, the two CM1200 condenser microphones included in the BC1200 set require 48V phantom power to operate. This is a standard feature on most audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and preamps. The dynamic KM1200 and TM1200 microphones do not require phantom power, making the set flexible for various recording and live sound setups.

Who is the Behringer BC1200 drum microphone set for?

The BC1200 set is ideal for drummers, sound engineers, and home studio owners looking for a complete and affordable solution to mic a full drum kit. Whether you're recording demos, practicing with a band, or performing live, this set provides the essential microphones needed to capture a balanced and professional drum sound.

BC1200 mic for thick and thumpy kick sounds

For many players, the kick drum is the heart of the beat. Why trust its sound to anything other than a top-quality mic? With its large-diaphragm dynamic capsule, the KM1200 serves up solid punch and fullness for your kick. Specially tuned for bass drums, the KM1200 mounts directly to a short mic stand for optimal positioning inside the drum opening. Sweetwater drummers love the KM1200's wide dynamic range, perfect for nailing a variety of kick sounds. Point it directly at the beater for a pronounced and heavy attack, or further toward the edge for more resonance.

Capture all the intricacies of your shells with TM1200 mics

Tailor-made for tom and snare drums, the TM1200 medium diaphragm mic does a fantastic job of translating your tone for recordings and performances. With the included mount clamps, each TM1200 mic secures directly to the drum hoop with adjustable angles and distances to find the perfect spot. For best results, position each mic towards the center of the drumhead.

Solid CM1200 overhead mics for your cymbals

Crash cymbals, rides, hi-hats — this pair of CM1200 overhead mics can capture all of your cymbals with fantastic results. Just mount these phantom-powered mics to boom stands and position them above your kit to pick up all the shimmer and brightness of your cymbals.
