Sub Frequency Instrument Microphone



Moon Mics LLC, custom made Moon Mics are designed for bass drums or bass instruments with high sound pressure levels. This microphone specializes in low frequencies that other microphones can't reach and they rely on false EQ enhancement. Moon Mics offers the highest fidelity in recreating acoustic low frequencies in drums (or other instruments) and there are specific technical reasons for this. The Moon Mic will revolutionize the way you think about Mic-ing an acoustic drum. Similar large diaphragm microphones do not have the Moon Mics special filter. This new microphone has a very large 8'' diaphragm that is tuned to receive the hard to retrieve low frequency spectrum. The special filter allows the amplifier to see only the raw and natural low signal, not a low passive filtered signal. By avoiding EQ ( phase shift ) problems, the most accurate signal can be received. The Moon Mic housing also has a large impact on the sound. The Moon Mic's interior back wall has a spherical shape. A spherical shape has only one dimension and thus having a very strong resonant frequency capability. The inside will collect and the outside will reflect. The housing supports a Cardioid Polar Pattern.
There seems to be big misconception about this microphone. The Moon Mic is a dynamic microphone containing a diaphragm, magnet, and a coil, as do all dynamic microphones regardless of diaphragm size...

MODERN DRUMMER brought Grammy-winning engineer Butch Jones into their studio to test the Moon Mic. ''The best placement I found for the Moon Mic,'' Jones says, "was midway between the center and edge of the kick drum and about two fingers' width back from the head. There, the recorded signal had a pleasing subtone resonance that wasn't as heavy as some of the other subs I've worked with, and the mic captured more of the true pitch and character of the drum. Obviously, the usefulness of this more accurate sound ultimately depends on how well the kick is tuned.''
