D85 Snare Microphone

Model: D85

The D85 is a compact, high-performance dynamic microphone engineered for precise snare drum capture and other mid-to-high frequency instruments. Its tailored frequency response features a controlled low-end roll-off to minimize rumble and a gentle high-end attenuation to reduce harshness, delivering a clean, focused sound ideal for both live and studio applications.

With a cardioid polar pattern, the D85 offers excellent off-axis rejection, ensuring high gain before feedback and effective suppression of ambient stage noise. Its miniature form factor allows for discreet placement, making it easy to install in tight setups while remaining visually unobtrusive.

Built with a durable metal housing, the D85 is designed to withstand the rigors of professional use.
