Any live or studio engineer can appreciate the Telefunken M82 dynamic microphone. Outfitted with an oversized 1.37" moving-coil diaphragm, the M82 provides you with superb low-frequency response. But, although Telefunken designed it for kick drums, this fat and punchy mic is also ideal for bass cabinets, voiceover work, and many other applications. On top of that, there's a switchable Kick EQ filter and a separate switchable High Boost function onboard the Telefunken M82, giving you four distinct sounds in one excellent microphone.

With its low-mass capsule and highly responsive, ultra-thin diaphragm, the Telefunken M80-SH has been a popular choice for snare drums for years. In fact, one of the first things we noted about it here at Sweetwater is that, in many ways, the M80-SH resembles a condenser microphone more than a standard dynamic. Telefunken based their M81-SH off of that same design, easing back on the high end to provide better low mid definition. The M81-SH is ideal for toms, providing lower fundamental response to better capture their deeper resonance.

At Sweetwater, we're really into the idea of setting up our customers with complete packages so you can use your gear the same day you get it. That's one of the reasons we're so happy to offer this DD5 Drum Microphone Set. In addition to five fabulous microphones plus rim mounts for each, the DD5 Drum Microphone Set comes complete with a set of quality microphone cables. These XLR cables feature a right-angle female connector, which is extremely handy for positioning microphones around tightly configured drum kits, since the ends don't stick up and get in the way of your cymbals. What's more, the DD5 Drum Microphone Set comes in a hardshell flight case, so you can take your mics on the road safe and sound.
