Sontronics DM1S Condenser Microphone for Snare Drum

Three years of intensive collaboration with professional drummers and producers has resulted in the Sontronics DM-1S, a condenser microphone engineered specifically to capture every nuance of your snare drum. This small-diaphragm condenser forms part of Sontronics' comprehensive drum microphone series, working alongside the DM-1B for kick drum and DM-1T for tom tom to provide complete drum recording solutions for both live performance and studio applications.

The DM-1S features a -10dB attenuation pad and handles sound pressure levels up to an impressive 135dB SPL, making it perfectly suited to capture the snap, crack and rattle that defines great snare drum sound. Its precision engineering ensures all the classic characteristics of your drum are faithfully reproduced, giving you professional results every time.

Supplied with a versatile mic clip, the DM-1S offers quick setup and flexible positioning options on standard mic stands or additional rim mounts. While designed primarily for kit snare and orchestral snare drums, users have reported exceptional results when recording cajón, djembe and doumbek, making this microphone a valuable addition to any recording setup.
