Sontronics DM-1S Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Snare Review

The Sontronics DM-1S features a cardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the sound in front of the microphone while helping reduce unwanted noise from the sides and rear. Its frequency response of 30 Hz to 20 kHz captures everything from the snare's body to its crisp attack. The -10 dB pad allows it to handle sound pressure levels up to 135 dB, making it suitable for hard-hitting drummers. It also shares a similar size and weight to the Sontronics DM-1T tom microphone, making the two easy to position together on a drum kit. The DM-1S requires 48V phantom power and connects through a standard XLR output.
