Mini K47 KD Microphone

Such detail and clarity. Sorry for the poor shot.. I spun the mic around to catch the logo. The bass is an early 60's Kay model 5935 that I got out from under the Rolling Stones (do you know Pierre?). The strat was formerly owned by Mr. David Flett (Manfred Mann's Earth Band, and a short stint in Thin Lizzy). Thanks so much for doing what you do! I am coming back for more.

Just an incredible microphone for kick drum. I play an 18" kick with a closed head, and have had a real hard time capturing the natural sound of it with many other microphones intended for kick drums. Right out of the gate completely dry, I was in smitten. What I dig especially about the Mini K47 KD, is that it although it captures that fatty low end and attack amazingly, it also picks up the front head sound very naturally. I have the front head very loose, and it's sound is tantamount to the vibe I'm going for. I have never been able to pick this up prior without having to throw an additional LDC a few feet out from the front of the kick just to get some of that to mix into the kick sound. This is a desert island kick drum microphone for me.

Wow! Mini K47KD is the absolute best Kick mic I’ve heard yet! This gives the true picture of what a kick should sound like with little to no eq! With slight positioning adjustments you should easily be able to find “your sound”. Build quality is absolutely stellar and the sound quality to match! Thank you so much to Matt McGlynn and the Roswell Audio Team for the incredible work your doing! And for putting out great quality mic’s at prices average people like myself can afford! This will be a proud gem in my mic locker for many years to come!!

3rd Roswell mic and I love it!

Thanks to Matt and his team for another great microphone. I already had a pair of Delphos II mics that I use all the time on different sources. I wanted to try out the MiniK47 KD next and it has been wonderful. As an outside kick mic, it has a lot of tone and punch, especially depending on placement. If only using one kick mic, I would suggest this as a great choice. I want to try it on my next bass amp session too!
