Sontronics DM-1T Overview

Sontronics’ DM-1T produces better-sounding tom-toms on stage and in the studio. This small-diaphragm condenser microphone is specifically intended to authentically capture a tom’s percussive tone, resulting in rich, nuanced recordings that fit nicely in the mix without requiring much post-processing. The pad switch decreases sensitivity by -10 dB, allowing the DM-1T to manage SPLs up to 135 dB, which is adequate to resist even the most powerful hits.

DM-1T

The DM-1T, part of Sontronics’ family of drum-specific microphones, is nearly identical in size and weight as the DM-1S snare mic (sold separately), making them ideal for use together on drum kits and easy to place for best results. The two differ in their frequency-response curves, with the DM-1T having a more noticeable bottom-end roll-off and a somewhat lower presence boost in the 5–10 kHz region.

The Sontronics DM-1T is your passport to drum sound perfection, ensuring spectacular and unrivaled results from your snare and toms, whether you’re in the studio, at home, or on the road.
These microphones will catch all of the distinct features of your drums, from the snap of the first stroke to the boomy resonance of your lowest tom.
They also sound great on other percussion instruments like the cajón, djembe, bongos, tabla, and congas.
Both mics include a -10dB pad switch, allowing them to endure an amazing 135dB SPL, which is enough to handle even the most powerful hits!
