The V Kick is the most compact and versatile drum microphone in its class, intended for use with kick (bass) drums and other sources such as micing bass guitar speaker cabinets, floor toms, or other large drums where low-frequency energy is of the utmost importance. Its integrated swivel joint allows for any required mic placement, and its specialized capsule provides a sound character tailored specifically for kick drums, which can be further shaped with the use of two switches on the rear side of the microphone. From warm and classic to modern and aggressive, the V Kick gives you any kick drum sound you need.
Four Switchable Sonic Voicings
Two switches on the rear side of the V Kick allow you four different sound settings, great for tailoring the sound for your specific project - ideal for live shows with multiple bands and short changeovers. And, since they're on the back of the mic, these switches are still accessible even if the V Kick is placed inside a kick drum.
Most Compact Kick Drum Mic on the Market
The V Kick's extremely low profile allows for effortless placement outside or inside a kick drum, and its integrated swivel joint allows for easy positioning inside (through the drum head port) or outside the kick drum. And, with the stand mount and the XLR connector mounted side-by-side in parallel on the underside of the mic, your mic cables stay flush with the mic stand – no cable clutter, completely minimal footprint, and easy to place anywhere.
The Heart of the V Kick: the DMC7 SB Capsule
The custom DMC7 SB capsule offers the same technologies and features as its siblings within the acclaimed V7 and V7 X, including the innovative, specialized aluminum voice coil. While the V7 X is optimized for most other instruments, the capsule in the V Kick has been custom-tuned for the very lowest and loudest tones. With aluminum being a much lighter material than the industry standard (copper), it delivers an open and transient-rich sound, with effortless capture of low frequency energy and punch. The midrange is also extremely balanced, supporting the natural resonances of percussive instruments.
