The DT-420 is high output dynamic microphone with a tallcred frequency response designed specifically for kick and other bass instruments. It provides superb attack and "punch" and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels. The DT-420 features a cardiod pattern throughout its frequency range to insure high gain before feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies installation, particularly if the microphone is to be placed inside a kick drum. The stand adapter blows and strong vibrations. A hardened steel mesh grille protects the DT-610 from the abuse and associated with touring.
