A unique drum mic set with large-diaphragm focus

DMK1 is the only drum microphone kit on the market to feature three different large-diaphragm condenser microphones. The combination of the OC-B6 for kick drum, two OC18 microphones as overheads, and the CC8 for hi-hat delivers a coherent and natural stereo image with impressive depth, clarity, and definition across the entire kit.

Optimised for both live and studio use

All microphones in the DMK1 are engineered to perform equally well in demanding live environments and professional studio applications. They provide excellent transient accuracy, high headroom, and consistent tonal balance, making it easy to achieve a controlled and musical drum sound in any genre or setting.

A complete system with professional accessories

In addition to the microphones, DMK1 includes a full set of professional accessories such as robust drum clips, microphone clamps, windscreens, and a waterproof touring case. This makes DMK1 a reliable all-in-one solution for touring, rental applications, and fixed installations where fast setup and durability are essential.
