$200 to $400 Drum Mic Pack Shootout! Xtuga Di7 vs Presonus DM7 vs Monoprice 7 Piece Drum Mic Packs

Xtuga Di7:

In the pack we received one of the overhead microphones could not be plugged in at all. You may not have this issue if you choose to order the Xtuga DI7 drum mic pack but as we all know from J-Roc, it could happen to you cause it happened to me.

XTUGA DI7 7-Piece Wired Dynamic Drum Mic Kit
Frequency response shaped specifically for kick drums and bass instruments Built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with integral XLR connector simplifies setup, especially inside a kick drum Studio quality performance, even at extremely high sound pressure levels Supercardioid pattern for high gain before feedback and superior rejection of unwanted noise Hardened steel mesh grille that resists wear and abuse Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration Neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio output Low sensitivity to varying load impedance



Presonus DM7:

DM-7

You got the beat
The key to a great acoustic drum kit sound is to capture each element individually so that you have the most control over your mix. The PreSonus® DM-7 drum mic set gives you everything you need to authentically capture your drum kit and just about any other instrument you like. Starting with the foundation, the BD-1 kick drum mic provides a unique frequency response to capture both the boom and the attack of your kick drum for tight, robust sound. The four ST-4 microphones will bring out the best in toms and snare drums while staying out of the drummer's way, thanks to included, adjustable rim mounts. To capture the sizzle of your cymbals and the ambiance of the room, use the two OH-2 small-diaphragm condensers to add space and movement to your drums. It all adds up to a useful and versatile assortment of microphones, included mounts and a hardshell carrying case.




Monoprice / Stage Right 7 Piece Drum Mic Kit:

From the manufacturer:

The Stage Right 7-piece Drum and Instrument Mic Kit is specially designed to mic a full drum kit. Each microphone utilizes a cardiod polar pattern, which naturally rejects sounds from any direction except directly in front of the mic. They feature balanced XLR connections, which ensure a low-noise transmission of the signal to your recording or live sound reinforcement system.
