With the BC1200, Behringer presents a professional drum microphone set consisting of a total of 7 microphones that are suitable for both live and studio applications. The different microphones are tuned to efficiently capture kick drums, toms, snares and cymbals. The set includes windscreens for overhead mics, clamps for tom/snare mics and 5/8" thread adapters in a simple carrying case. The rugged die-cast construction makes the BC1200 set resistant to the rigours of everyday studio and stage use.
Bass-Drum-Microphone
This dynamic microphone with large diaphragm capsule and cardioid pick-up pattern KM1200 is especially designed for bass drums. It can be easily mounted on a short stand and positioned directly at the opening of the bass drum.
Tom/Snare microphones
The TM1200 dynamic microphones with mid-membrane capsules are specially designed for toms and snares. The special microphones can be attached to the hoop of a tom or snare drum with clamps. The angle and distance from the microphone to the drumhead is adjustable.
Condenser Overhead Microphones
The CM1200 directional small-diaphragm condenser capsules are specifically tuned for crash, hat and ride cymbals. Mount the microphones on a pair of tripod stands and position them to get the desired delicate/silky highs. Each mic should be positioned about 1 m above a ride cymbal and hi-hat, pointing directly down. You can also position both microphones directly above the snare drum in an "XY" pattern with the capsule ends almost touching and one pointing at the ride cymbal and the other at the hi-hat.
(Note that these microphones require 48 V phantom power to operate)
