Its low frequency response and dynamics are superb and result in a tight, natural, well-defined sound - the best low-end with detailed mids and highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicks up the clear, true sound of the kick drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat frequency response so you can shape the sound your way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt tough to withstand rough use on the live stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsymmetric design for easy placement inside or outside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4055 is one of the only kick drum mics that is not sonically pre-tailored to fit a traditional sound in a specific genre. Its performance allows a professional sound designer to create the exact sound s\/he is listening for - regardless of the music genre. Want more attack? Slide the 4055 into the bass drum and point it directly at the beater. For a super-low-end sound, place the 4055 at the hole, just on the outside of the front head. Here, the level of sub and lows are represented the most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only does the position inside or outside the kick drum give you different sounds but working with the angles of the microphone just outside the hole will deliver nuances of the drum sound. No matter what sound preference you have, the 4055 captures the true sound of a kick drum, whether it is used in classic, jazz, rock or any other genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4055 is placed in a large, robust housing and there is wind damping foam just in front of the capsule, behind the grille. A specially-designed shock mount also suspends the capsule inside the housing to avoid vibrations from the stage. The shock mount together with the extra wind damping ensures that the 4055 captures only the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4055 is easy to position, both inside and outside the drum. Its unique asymmetric design makes it quite easy to place the mic through the drum hole without ripping the front resonator skin.\u003cbr\u003eNot just for the kick!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4055 is not limited to the kick drum. It works equally well on other instruments, such as electric guitar cabinets, bass and horns. Its flat frequency response and ability to bring the uncolored sound to the next level works well on many instrument types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional Pattern: Open Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciple of operation: Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge type: Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: Typ. 132 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Matte black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: XLR-3M.
