Samson DK705 - 5-Piece Drum Microphone Kit (Q71 + 4xQ72) with Hard Case

The Samson DK705 is a dynamic drum microphone set designed for close-up recording in live and studio environments. It includes a dedicated Q71 for kick drums and four Q72s for snare and toms, all with neodymium capsules and a supercardioid pattern to isolate each part of the kit and minimize leakage and feedback. The Q71 handles extremely high SPLs (up to 147 dB SPL) and is tuned to reproduce the body and punch of the kick drum; the Q72s offer a 50–16 kHz response with a high-mid boost for the attack of snare drums and toms, handling up to 133 dB SPL. For quick setup, the package includes five ball-head adapters and four tension ring clips that eliminate the need for additional stands, as well as a hard-shell case to protect and organize the setup.

Main features

• 5-piece setup : 1× Q71 (bass drum) + 4× Q72 (snare/toms).
• Directivity : Supercardioid (Q71 and Q72) for greater lateral rejection and bleed control.
• High SPL tolerance : Q71 up to 147 dB SPL ; Q72 up to 133 dB SPL .
• Optimized response for percussion: 50–16 kHz on Q71/Q72 with defined presence for attack.
• Agile setup : 5 ball head adapters + 4 tension ring clips for the Q72; precise positioning without additional tripods.
• Rugged construction with neodymium elements and standard 3-pin XLR output.
• Tour/Studio Ready : Includes hard case for transport and storage.

Product benefits

• Punchy, controlled sound : Capture the body of the kick drum with the Q71 and the punch/clarity of the snare and toms with the Q72.
• Less noise and feedback : The supercardioid pattern promotes gain before feedback and reduces bleed between parts.
• Quick Deployment : Hoop clips keep the stage clear and speed up backline changes.
• Universal compatibility : standard XLR connectors; being dynamic they do not require phantom power .
• Portability : The entire set travels protected in its case, ideal for bowling, rentals or schools.

Use cases

• Live : drum reinforcement in venues, theaters and festivals with high off-axis rejection.
• Studio and home studio : coherent proximity microphones with clear imaging of each drum.
• Education and rehearsal rooms : a complete, tidy and robust solution for intensive use.
