behringer Premium 7-Piece Drum Microphone Set BC1500
Quick Start Guide
Thank you for purchasing the BC1500 drum microphone package. These mics will provide accurate capture of the entire drum set for both live and studio applications. Read through these instructions proper use and technical details.
C112 Bass Drum Mic
Mount the bass drum mic onto a short microphone stand, then position the mic just inside the kick drum port. Aim the mic directly at the beater for more attack, or toward the far edge of the drum for more resonant tone.
TM1500 Tom Mics
Screw the mounting clips onto each mic so that the mic points toward the clip end. Attach each mic onto the hoop of a tom or snare drum. The distance from the mic to the drumhead is adjustable, as well as the angle. Position each mic toward the center of the drum head for best results.
CM1500 Cymbal Mi cs
Screw the mic clips onto a pair of tripod boom stands. Slide the cymbal mics into the mic clips and position them in one of these patterns:
- Each mic positioned about 3 ft (1 m) above the ride cymbal and hi hat, pointing directly down.
- Both mics positioned directly above the snare drum in an “XY” pattern, with the capsule ends nearly touching, one pointing at the ride cymbal and the other at the hi hat.
Note that these mics require 48 V phantom power to be engaged on the mixer or interface
