Cardioid dynamic microphone, found in battery packs of this American brand. It is intended in this case making the snare.

Used in recent years on the snare drum, and guitar ...
It is very beautiful and very tough, he does not fear ABSOLUTELY wand drummers beefy (and mine is!).

It comes with the crowbar ...

OVERALL OPINION

To be honest, I have tried 2 other microphones in front of my snare: Prologue an old Shure SM57 and hopeless ...

The Audix is ​​less "pinched" less "stamped" as the SM57. It is more transparent than the SM57, it was more up and down more or less than medium if you prefer <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

The drummers I had the studio all have been unanimous: it was the sound of the snare, faithfully. No worries about the output level or saturation, it is here to collect! And no problem to mix either the result ...
In the case of using "Battery" I must confess that packs "Battery" are very consistent with Audix microphones at them, there are more superb dynamic ...

I also tried it on guitar amps ... Then there is another story, or rather a matter of taste: the SM57 has a "rock", "big" and I like rough (we play rock style Springsteen / Phone), and having the People who come register (Pop Rock Hard American English at large ... well compressed).

So I left the SM57 on guitars and amps I5 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">on snare.</span>

Over the microphone placed <span style="text-decoration: underline;">under</span> the snare drum is also an sm57, I play a lot with the color of the stamp battery at the time of the mix, so I "stamp" upon taking <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

VERY good value for money because you buy a used battery pack ...
I remake this choice with your eyes closed <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
