Description
THE V BEAT & V CLAMP: SUPERIOR ISOLATION & EFFORTLESS SONICS, ALL WITH MINIMAL FOOTPRINT & MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY.
Effortlessly amazing sound for any snare or tom drum, whether on-stage or off.
The V BEAT is the most compact drum microphone in its class, intended for use with snare or tom drums. Unlike the V7, which is optimized for vocals, the V BEAT features the same high-grade sonic performance as the V7 X instrument dynamic, but in a dedicated low-profile & drum-friendly form factor. Tuned for instrumental use, it can also be used on sources such as electric guitar speaker cabinets or brass instruments.
Its specialized capsule provides a highly detailed, extremely natural sound character on snares or toms of any size, with amazing off-axis rejection to minimize bleed from nearby drums and cymbals. Its ultra-compact design and parallel XLR connector & stand mount give it the smallest footprint in its class, and its rock-solid swivel mount allows its angle to be adjusted with great precision – so it can be aimed at almost any part of the drum head to achieve whatever sound character is required.
Compact, flexible, and minimalist design
It also means there’s no danger of cables interfering with the drummer’s performance, as they are kept out of the way of cymbals and drum sticks alike.
When used as intended with the V CLAMP, the V BEAT becomes even more compact and even more flexible.
The V CLAMP adds another axis of vertical movement for even better fine-positioning ability, and keeps the V BEAT securely fastened to your drum rim while adding barely any bulk to the overall footprint.
The heart of the V BEAT: the DMC7 X capsule
The excellent off-axis rejection of this sophisticated capsule also helps isolate your drums from other sound sources on the stage – efficiently reducing stage bleed and spill from other drums, cymbals and more. The supercardioid pattern also allows you to easily tailor the bottom-end by adjusting the proximity effect – i.e. distance to the drum head.
Proven Neodymium magnets, tight production tolerances and high workmanship ensure excellent sensitivity, high-end sound quality and superb consistency.
Unique, patented integrated capsule suspension
The V BEAT’s advanced internal capsule suspension efficiently decouples the capsule from mechanical vibration, isolating it from shocks & jolts and eliminating the need for an external shock mount.
All-metal housing & spring steel grille with gold XLR connector
Plus, the V BEAT’s gold-plated XLR connector ensures a loss-free and reliable signal connection for years to come.
Internal windscreen
The red internal windscreen efficiently reduces unwanted popping, plosives and wind noise – and in case you prefer a more visually subtle black windscreen, we have also included one as a standard accessory.
