    The FM1 Instrument Microphone is a dynamic microphone designed for recording guitar cabinets and drums. It's an ideal solution for when you need to get up close to a sound source without losing clarity. The microphone’s flattened profile and supercardioid pickup pattern ensure clear recording, while the dynamic element can withstand high volumes without distorting, allowing you to record loud sources cleanly.

     

    Highlights

    • Dynamic microphone element
    • Supercardioid pickup pattern
    • Ideal for high-volume sound sources
    • Flat design allows for close-face recording techniques
    • Lightweight construction


    Focused Sound
    The FM1 features a supercardioid pickup pattern, making it perfect for focused recordings. The microphone rejects off-axis noise, allowing for a much cleaner recording by eliminating background noise and avoiding feedback. This is especially useful when miking toms or snares in a kit setting, since it allows for up-close recording with minimal audio bleed.


    High Volume, High Performance
    The FM1 microphone’s dynamic element makes it perfect for miking loud sound sources with little to no distortion. This preserves detail in the recording while still capturing a warm recording from drums and guitar cabinets, especially in common close-up recording techniques, live sound, or more specialized isolation cabinet setups.


    Close-Up Recording
    The wider, side-address profile of the FM1 microphone is designed for close-face recording techniques. The flattened face of the mic allows the mic element to get close-up to the sound source when miking drums or guitar cabinets, allowing the proximity effect to bring out the warmth in your performances. Additionally, the slim profile presents less of a footprint than top-address dynamic instrument microphones.


    Applications

    • Recording guitar cabinets
    • Recording bass cabinets
    • Recording drums
    • Live sound drum microphone
