From Series 21 to the stage: the Salmiéri spirit
Derived from Series 21, the PL21 Salmiéri was designed to meet the real constraints of percussionists on stage: high sound levels, multiple sources, and timbre requirements. Its electret capsule and balanced frequency response provide faithful reproduction, whether for tight skins, deep drums, or lamellophone and metallic resonance percussion.
For whom and for which percussion instruments?
Ideal for percussionists, drummers, and backliners seeking quick and stable capture. It adapts to congas, bongos, djembes, cajons, timpani, rototoms, tambourines, tablas, batas, darbukas, bendirs, bodhrans, toms, snares, drums, surdos, talking drums, udus, steel drums... Its discreet mounting allows multiple mic placements without weighing down the kit.

What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Percussion microphone kit praised for excellent sound reproduction on congas, bongos, and tabla. Customers said it offers "realistic rendering" and "faithful sound" at a reasonable price. Comes in a sturdy carrying case. Note: requires phantom power (not included). Main drawback is the clip jaw size being too small for some instruments.

With these microphones used in concert, sound engineers make adjustments quickly, without any problem. Tried on various percussion instruments but also on a diatonic accordion: the result is faithful in all cases, as long as we have found the right positioning (the examples on the packaging are not the best!)
On this subject, we can however regret that the jaws of the pliers do not open enough to adapt to all cases: I had to mount a small square on my cajon (for the front sound recording) and on my pandeiro to be able to hang the clip. The windscreens provided are essential for outdoor use (wind sensitivity). In short, a set of 3 effective microphones at a low price. Reliability over time remains to be seen...Automatically translated
