M82 gives you five killer kick sounds in one

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, voice-over 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 five distinct sounds in one excellent microphone.

Killer mics for your snare drum and toms

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 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.

Overheads with airy high frequencies

The Telefunken M60 FET's cardioid pattern and a flat EQ response between 150Hz and 7kHz with an airy peak at 8kHz makes the M60 perfect for applications such as drum overheads, hi-hats, and acoustic instruments, where a true sound with a clear and glassy top end is what you're after. Sweetwater engineers know that the famous Telefunken diamond badge on the body of the M60 FET means that you can record confidently with one of the best in the game.

Not just mics - the complete package

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 DC6 Drum Microphone Pack. In addition to six fabulous microphones plus rim mounts for each, the DC6 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 DC6 Drum Microphone Pack comes in a hardshell flight case, so you can take your mics on the road safe and sound.
