PG ALTA: an "accessible pro" approach within the PGA range
The DRUMKIT4 fits within the PGA range logic, designed to offer reliable sound reinforcement solutions at an affordable price. The PG ALTA series features a modernized design with a metallic black finish and matching grille, while maintaining the core goal: providing access to a coherent kit that is simple to deploy and adapted to the real needs of drummers. With its four dynamic microphones targeting key elements of a set, this pack positions itself as a solid entry point for building a structured drum sound capture without multiplying purchases.
Who is this drum mic kit for?
The DRUMKIT4 is an excellent starter kit for any drummer, sound engineer, or band wishing to quickly amplify a complete instrument. It is particularly suitable for rehearsals, small to medium stages, as well as home studio recordings when a reliable base for the kick drum, snare, and toms is desired. Thanks to the cardioid pattern and choice of dynamic microphones, the set is designed for practical use: quick placement, good resistance to high levels, and easier management of bleed in live environments.
An optimized microphone configuration for drums
This pack includes four dynamic microphones, each assigned a typical role in drum recording. The idea is to cover the most critical mix elements (attack, impact, body) with a simple, coherent setup that is immediately usable on a console or an interface equipped with XLR inputs.
Microphone distribution: impact, attack, and definition
The PGA52 is dedicated to the kick drum to work on the foundation and punch. The two PGA56 are intended for the toms (or snare/toms depending on your setup), to achieve a clear attack and good presence. The PGA57 completes the set for the snare or another instrumental source: practical if you adapt the kit to your set, style, or stage.
Cardioid polar pattern: more control on stage
The cardioid polar pattern favors frontal capture and helps reduce unwanted sounds from the sides and rear. The result: more control in the mix, better clarity of the drums, and easier setup when the stage is noisy or monitors are close.
A truly "ready-to-connect" pack
The DRUMKIT4 comes with 4 XLR-XLR cables of 4.6 m, allowing each microphone to be connected directly to the console or snake without immediate additional cable purchase. The included mounting clips facilitate attachment to the kit, and the carrying case secures storage and transport, a real plus for rehearsals and concerts.
