Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
For over thirty years, Meinl has developed solutions appreciated by percussionists and drummers, with a focus on quality and innovation. This U-shaped arm fits within this philosophy: a simple, effective, and field-oriented accessory designed to meet the real challenges of bass drum sound capture.
Who Is This {Instrument} For?
This U-shaped bass drum microphone arm is intended for drummers from beginners to professionals who want a quick, clean, and stable setup. Ideal for situations where space is limited (small stages, crowded setups), it suits all styles requiring a well-defined bass drum sound: rock, metal, pop, funk, amplified jazz, or contemporary music.
Features and Innovations
The design combines a U-shaped rod with a bass drum hoop clamp to position the microphone exactly where desired while minimizing clutter. The threaded end allows secure microphone attachment, while the clamp holds the assembly close to the shell for a cleaner and faster setup.
Sound
A microphone support does not directly influence the bass drum's timbre, but it plays a key role in the captured result. Stable and repeatable placement helps more easily find the right balance between attack and low end, and maintain consistent sound capture from one concert or session to another.
