FEATURES
 Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability
 The new TONE DRUM SERIES drum mics adhere to our overall tonal philosophy of “big sounding drums”.
 The CK-1 has a Low Frequency cutoff switch and –10dB attenuation switch for versatile tone shaping & signal control. It accurately captures the
delicate nuances of the cymbals and hi-hats while rejecting sounds from interfering sources away from the kit.
 The MONDO kick mic is aggressively voiced to provide a HUGE low end while accentuating the upper percussive attack frequencies. Most
engineers will find that very little (if any) EQ is required to achieve satisfying results.
 The ATOM tom mic is custom voiced to yield a fat, big sound that often requires no EQ at all! Because of the special voicing on the ATOM it also
is fantastic on djembe, large congas, and bass amp cabinets.
 The ADM snare mic is voiced to follow the familiar sound of industry standard snare mics BUT… We engineered a better low end and smoother
top end…. plus as in all our mics… NO PLASTIC to break!
 The included PRO-KLAMP drum rim mic mounts are superb in allowing a confidant positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of
unwanted vibrations up into the mic. This isolation allows for professional results without the need for tripod/boom stands. While it was
designed to withstand the rigors of live stage gigging, it is the first drum rim mic mount that will reliably work in a pro-studio situation. This
makes the engineers’ job easier and insures that the mics will stay in place where he positions them.
 The SSM shock mounts are as rugged as you can find and allow for a superb decoupling of the mics from unwanted low-frequency transfer and
rumble. This feature, coupled with the use of the PRO-KLAMPS results in a much tighter, less muddy sound than other brands of drum mic kits.

CARE & PRECAUTIONS

 When not in use please store your drum mics in the provided padded case.
 Always protect your mics from any hard jolts and vibrations.. . Although they are ruggedly constructed, they are professional tools and should
be treated with respect... always handle with care.
 For best performance & longevity, do not expose the microphones to moisture or smoke.
 AVANTONE drum mics comply with all applicable / RoHS/ WEEE European Union directives.
