ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The Yamaha SubKick SKRM100 is an amazing tool. In combination with the resonance of the drum shell, the speaker produces an incredible sub-frequency sound, with plenty of punch and controlled thickness and without the phasing problems often associated with low end reproduction. When used alone or in combination with a standard kick drum microphone, the Subkick will capture the full range of frequencies coming from the drum without EQ, compression, or any other signal processing. The Subkick also includes a standard XLR for easy connection, and does not require +48V Phantom power to operate. Try it and you will be astonished !
FEATURES
Designed for use with kick drums and floor toms as an alternative or as a supplement to a traditional microphone, the Yamaha Subkick is a sub-frequency (below 100Hz) capture device which uses the microphonic properties of a standard loudspeaker in combination with a drum shell and specialized mesh heads.
"The Subkick is not a mic or a drum – it's both! A kick drum mic placed in a common position really doesn't capture all the frequencies. I had the idea of combining some of the characteristics of a drum, and using a speaker as an extremely large microphone diaphragm together. The Subkick was born.", said Russ Miller, Yamaha Drum artist.
The Subkick features a 10-in. woofer (frequency response 20Hz - 8kHz) which is shock mounted inside a 7-ply Maple shell and covered with 10-in. black mesh heads. The drum shell focuses sound waves in a strong, directional pattern through the speaker. The Mesh heads, although sonically invisible to those frequencies, add a small amount of sustain to the sound.
