PROEL APM47 - ABS Drum Microphone Ring Holder
Optimize your sound setup and free up space on stage or in the studio with the PROEL APM47 , a professional solution designed specifically for capturing audio on drums and percussion. This clamp-style mount attaches directly to the rim of the instrument, eliminating the need for bulky floor mic stands that restrict the musician's movement and clutter the visual space.
Made from high-strength ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) , the APM47 combines extreme lightness with exceptional durability, capable of withstanding the demands of touring and intensive use. Its clever design incorporates a locking clamp system that ensures a firm and stable attachment to the rim of the drumhead, preventing the microphone from shifting or vibrating excessively from drumstick impacts. It's the ultimate tool for sound engineers and drummers seeking a clean, fast, and precise setup.
Versatility is one of its strengths. The APM47 acts as a solid base onto which you can attach your preferred microphone clip. Thanks to its universal design, it's compatible with all PROEL microphone stands (clips) and most market standards, allowing you to use everything from classic dynamic microphones to compact condenser microphones for toms and snares.
Main features
-
Robust ABS construction: Impact and scratch resistant engineering plastic material, ideal for the aggressive battery environment.
-
Secure attachment to the hoop: Its locking clamp ensures that the stand remains stationary during performance, maintaining the exact position of the microphone.
-
Ultra-compact design: With its small dimensions, it goes virtually unnoticed in the kit, promoting a clean aesthetic.
-
Universal compatibility: Designed to attach to any standard PROEL microphone clip, offering flexibility to choose the right microphone.
-
Mechanical isolation: By eliminating the floor foot and using ABS, it helps manage the transmission of unwanted vibrations.
Benefits for the musician and the technician
Using the PROEL APM47 transforms the logistics of drum setup. For the drummer , it means fewer obstacles around their kit, allowing for greater freedom of movement and a more professional look on stage. For the sound engineer , it means consistent microphone placement; once attached to the rim, the distance between the capsule and the drumhead remains constant, even if the drum kit shifts slightly during the show.
Furthermore, its negligible weight (barely 30 grams) does not affect the natural resonance of the drum, unlike other heavy metal clamps that can dampen the sound of the shell or hoop.
Use cases
-
Snares: Perfect for placing the microphone on top or bottom without needing two microphone stands.
-
Toms and Floor Toms: Ideal for capturing each tom individually in rock, metal or jazz setups, keeping the floor clear of cables and irons.
-
Latin percussion instruments: Excellent for attaching microphones to timbales, congas or bongos that have compatible hoops.
-
Recording studios: Allows for precise and repeatable close-miking in recording sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the stand include the microphone clamp?
No, the APM47 is the base mount that attaches to the drum ring. It has a threaded adapter where you screw in the specific clip for your microphone (compatible with all PROEL clips).
-
Is it compatible with any type of battery?
Its clamp system is designed to fit the vast majority of standard drum and percussion hoops on the market.
-
Is ABS material brittle?
Not at all. ABS is a thermoplastic known for its high impact resistance and durability, being much lighter than metal but very robust for everyday use.
