The right-hand switch specifically tailors the microphone’s high-frequency character:
“Classic” provides a typical bite in the upper midrange (presence boost) and a more rounded and
familiar HF sound, while Modern” provides an open, clear and transient-rich top end for a more
contemporary, aggressive drum sound.
Each of these switches is recessed slightly into the mic body and requires a small flathead
screwdriver or similar implement to switch between settings.
The V KICK also has an integrated swivel joint that allows for easy
positioning inside or outside a kick drum. Its extremely low profile allows
it to fit easily through the drum head port, and the XLR cable and mic
stand mount are in parallel to minimize cable clutter. Please remember
to securely tighten the swivel clamp whenever adjusting it, so as to
prevent the mic from sagging during a performance or recording.
V BEAT
The V BEAT’s ultra-compact design lets it occupy a minimal amount of space on your drum, without
interrupting lines of sight any more than necessary, and keeping it out of the way of drum sticks and
cymbals. With the XLR connector and stand mount on the bottom of the V BEAT and in parallel with
one another, the footprint and cable clutter are further minimized.
Its swivel mount also allows the
angle of the mic to be adjusted with
great precision, so it can be aimed at
almost any part of the drum head to
change the character of the sound,
and to minimize spill from other
drums or cymbals.
Please remember to securely tighten the swivel clamp whenever adjusting it, so as to prevent the
mic from sagging during a performance or recording.
V CLAMP
The V CLAMP can be fitted to any popular snare or tom drum available
by carefully stretching the elastic clamp over the drum rims to fit. The
height and rotation of the connected microphone can be changed by
loosening the V CLAMP’s knob and adjusting the position of the rod. This
allows the mic to be positioned perfectly for any desired drum tone, or to
minimize spill from nearby drums. The small hole at the bottom of the
rod can be used for a tie clip to attach a cable, or as a backup solution in
case the knob becomes loose for any reason.
