SONTRONICS DM-1S Pencil Condenser for tom and snare drum

The DM-1S is a small pencil condenser designed specifically for snare drum. It is a companion mic to the DM-1T tom microphone, from which it differs only in voicing.

Both mics are part of Sontronics application-specific microphone series, which also includes the DM-1B and the DM-1B kick-drum mic.

The DM-1T and DM-1S are physically identical. They are compact (length approximately 10cm) to facilitate placement above toms and snare without being in the way of cymbals.

The DM-1T tom mic and DM-1S snare mic are both end-address, with a 24mm true condenser capsule. Both produce a Cardioid pickup pattern.

The ME 67 is a long gun microphone head designed for use with the K6 and K6P powering modules. A highly directional microphone, it can be used where the microphone must be placed at a distance from the sound source. Matt black, anodised, scratch-resistant finish.

The R?DE NT6 is specifically designed for difficult mounting applications. Although
clearly relevant to instrument mic'ing, the new NT6 is extremely well suited to any
situation where a small 'unobtrusive' but powerful microphone system is required.
The NT6 utilises the 1/2" (externally biased) gold sputtered true condenser transducer
used in the internationally renowned R?DE NT5. The capsule is designed to attach to
a custom made, multi-position swivel mount allowing it to be independently positioned
with ease.
To further increase the versatility of the NT6, it is supplied with 2 thread adaptors - 1/4"
to 5/8" and 1/4" to 3/8" that enable the capsule assembly to be securely attached to a
wide variety of mic stands, tripods and boom poles.
The capsule is connected to the pre-amplifier (body) by a custom 3 m Kevlar? fibre reinforced
cable. Housed within the heavy duty satin-nickel-plated body, is a state-of-the-art low noise
balanced output preamplifier, exhibiting a wide dynamic range and full frequency response.
The surface-mount pre-amplifier circuit also incorporates a 2-position variable pad: 0 dB an -10 dB
attenuation, and a 2-position variable high-pass filter that enables you to step from a flat response
to 80 Hz high pass filter; both conveniently located away from the capsule, providing additional
control without the need to move the capsule once in position.
The NT6 is intended for Film, Television, Broadcast, Live Performance, Theatre, Television,
Surround and Environmental recording applications or wherever your imagination takes you.
The NT6 is produced in R?DE's design and manufacturing facility in Sydney, Australia. Utilising
state of the art computer controlled machining and assembly technologies, R?DE is able to
achieve levels of finish and repeatability of the most exacting standards and tolerances.
The NT6 comes supplied with Microphone Preamp (Body), Capsule, 3 m Kevlar? fibre reinforced
cable, RM5 Stand Mount, 2-axis Swivel Mount, 2 thread adaptors, ZP1 Zip Pouch and WS5 Wind Shield.

Operation power:
The NT6 is designed to operate from phantom power to the P48 standard. The NT6 will operate
between 44V and 52V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 of the output XLR connector. 
Operation output impedance:
Output Impedance: The NT6 will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kΩ. If a
load below this is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NT6 output is balanced between
pin 2 (hot) and pin 3 (cold). Pin 1 is ground.
