All about fat bass
Kick drums are the driving force of most tracks. Because of this they should be big and bold. Don't just settle on hearing the kick, feel it too! Thanks to Presonus, getting a great kick sound is as simple as placing the dynamic microphone next to the drum. The BD-1's cardioid polar pattern provides an incredibly focused capture with up to 6 dB of rejection at the sides. With careful positioning, this rejection will come in handy for isolating your kick from cymbals and other undesirable bleed that can detract from its impact.
The tailored frequency response empowers you with a great kick sound straight out of the box. Its generous boost of low and high frequencies allow you to achieve "thud" and "impact", whilst the dip in the low-mids is great for reducing "mud" in the 200-500Hz region. Because of its response, the BD-1 is also a great choice for bass cabinets and brass instruments.
Plenty of body and attack
The ST4s are designed to provide you with plenty of body and attack. They're the natural choice to use on toms, snares and guitar cabinets. If you're working in compact spaces, don't worry about microphone stands. These dynamics are designed to easily clip on to your drum-kit. This also makes them ideal for live, and filmed sessions, where positioning should be sparse and discrete.
The key to a great drum sound
The key to a great drum sound often lies in the overhead microphones. Not only are they useful for capturing your cymbals, you can also use them to add dimension and depth to your snare, and toms. Thanks to their subtle high frequency boost your recordings will sound record-ready before any further processing is applied. This allows you to get great sounds at source that will continually inspire and bring out the best in any performer.
Versatile and powerful
Like all of the microphones included in the DM-7, The OH-2s aren't just limited to drums. They're great to use on any acoustic instrument, especially those that benefit from a stereo capture such as acoustic guitar, choirs, strings, and piano.
