Captures the clear, authentic sound of a kick drum with a linear frequency response, allowing you to shape the sound to your liking. The robust construction is suitable for rough use on stage. The asymmetrical design enables easy placement both inside and outside the kick drum. The deep frequency response, dynamics, and sound pressure handling of this microphone are outstanding, resulting in a very tight, natural, and well-defined sound. Highs, lows, and mids – everything is present. The 4055 is one of the few kick drum microphones that is not tailored to a traditional sound in a specific genre. Its performance allows a professional sound designer to create exactly the sound they want to hear – regardless of the music genre.

If you want more attack, push the 4055 into the bass drum and aim it directly at the beater. For a super low-end sound, place the 4055 at the hole, right on the outside of the front head, where sub and low frequencies are most prominent. Not only does the position inside and outside the kick drum create different sounds, but working with angles of the microphone just outside the resonance hole also delivers numerous nuances of the drum sound. No matter what your sound preferences are, the 4055 captures the true sound of a kick drum – whether in classical, jazz, rock, or any other genre.
