Reverse-speaker design captures full kick drum tone with flexible mounting options.
The Kickport KT1 is a dual-concentric, sub-mic designed to capture the full sonic spectrum of your kick drum with exceptional clarity and power. This innovative microphone takes the concept of a reverse-speaker kick drum microphone to a new level, offering an expansive frequency response, simplified mounting, and a convenient, lightweight design.
Dual-Concentric Design for Full-Range Sound
The KT1's dual-concentric design features two dynamic microphone elements, allowing it to capture both the low-end punch and the high-frequency snap of your kick drum. This results in a full-range sound that's rich, detailed, and incredibly impactful. The custom-manufactured diaphragm is rigid, lightweight, and exhibits outstanding damping characteristics, ensuring accurate and distortion-free sound reproduction.
Versatile Mounting Options for Optimal Placement
The KT1 can be mounted directly to your kick drum's resonant head, onto a KickPort bass drum enhancer, or on a standard mic stand. The included swivel mount allows for 360° rotation and locks down for ultra-precise positioning, ensuring that you can capture the perfect kick drum sound every time.
Built for Performance and Reliability
The KT1 is built to withstand the rigors of live performance and studio recording, with a hearty 175dB max SPL that can handle even the loudest kick drums. The high-quality Neutrik XLR output connector provides maximum reliability, ensuring a clean and consistent signal transfer. Weighing a mere 2.2 lbs, the KT1 is also incredibly lightweight and portable.
