Give Your Drums the Punch, Power and Clarity They Deserve – Five Professional Miktek Microphones in One Kit!
You've spent years developing your playing style, choosing the right drums, tuning your heads and finding the combination of shells and cymbals that gives your kit its own personality. Every snare backbeat, tom fill and kick drum hit is part of that sound. Now it's time to capture it with microphones designed to bring out the energy and musical character of your performance.
Meet the Miktek TDK5 – a professional five-piece dynamic drum microphone kit that combines four Miktek T100 snare/tom microphones with one Miktek T200 kick drum microphone. Each microphone features a custom-designed neodymium capsule, a specially developed Miktek output transformer and a focused supercardioid pickup pattern, giving you a carefully matched foundation for powerful live drum reinforcement and detailed studio recording.
With four LRM100 Level Lock rim-mount clips, standard microphone clips and a convenient padded carrying bag included, the TDK5 is a practical solution for drummers, live sound engineers and recording studios looking for excellent drum sound and dependable equipment without unnecessary complexity.
Capture the Power and Personality of Your Entire Drum Kit
A great drum sound isn't simply about making every drum louder. It's about capturing the impact of the kick, the crack of the snare, the resonance of the toms and the movement and expression of the drummer behind the kit.
The Miktek TDK5 brings together two complementary microphone designs developed specifically for these jobs. The four T100 microphones provide focused, articulate pickup for snare and toms, while the T200 reproduces the powerful low-frequency foundation of the kick drum.
On stage, this combination helps sound engineers build a strong, defined drum mix, with individual microphone signals that can be balanced and shaped to suit the band and the venue. In the studio, the TDK5 provides dedicated close microphones for the main drums, allowing you to experiment with microphone placement, equalization and compression to develop your own drum sound.
Whether you're recording tight, aggressive rock drums, a natural acoustic performance or rehearsing with a powerful live band, the TDK5 gives you the essential microphones to build a professional close-miked drum setup.
Four Miktek T100 Microphones – Tight, Punchy Snare and Tom Sounds
The TDK5 includes four Miktek T100 supercardioid dynamic microphones, specially voiced for snare drums, toms and other percussion instruments.
At the heart of each T100 is a custom neodymium capsule paired with a dedicated Miktek output transformer. The combination produces a full, robust frequency response with tight low frequencies, clear midrange articulation and smooth, defined highs.
On snare drum, the T100 can capture the sharp attack of the stick alongside the body and resonance of the drum. From crisp, controlled snare playing to powerful rock backbeats, it offers the definition needed for each hit to stand out in a busy mix.
On rack toms and floor toms, the same microphone delivers the balance of attack and low-frequency body required to reproduce deep, resonant notes and fast drum fills with clarity.
With four T100 microphones available, a typical configuration could use one microphone on snare and the remaining three on toms. You can also distribute them differently depending on the size and arrangement of the kit.
Focused Supercardioid Pickup – Keep the Individual Drums Under Control
Recording or reinforcing a full acoustic drum kit presents a challenge: every microphone is surrounded by other loud instruments. Cymbals, neighboring drums, guitar amplifiers and stage monitors can contribute unwanted sound to individual drum channels.
The T100 microphones feature focused supercardioid pickup patterns, designed to emphasize sound arriving from the front of the capsule and reduce pickup from many off-axis directions.
Their specially developed acoustic labyrinth capsule design contributes to controlled directional response, helping engineers achieve better separation between drums when the microphones are carefully positioned.
This can be especially valuable for live sound, where a well-controlled snare or tom channel makes it easier to create a powerful mix. In the studio, improved separation gives greater flexibility when processing individual drum signals.
One Miktek T200 – Big, Punchy Kick Drum Sound
The kick drum is the foundation of so many musical styles. It needs enough depth to give the performance weight, enough attack to stay clear in the mix and enough definition to work alongside the bass guitar and the rest of the rhythm section.
That's exactly the job of the Miktek T200. This professional dynamic microphone has been specifically designed for kick drums and other instruments with substantial low-frequency content.
Its custom-designed neodymium capsule and Miktek output transformer are carefully matched to deliver powerful bass reproduction with clear articulation and a smooth, controlled response.
One of the T200's most attractive characteristics is its well-balanced sound. Instead of relying entirely on a dramatically exaggerated frequency curve to force every drum towards the same sound, the T200 provides a full and musical foundation that you can shape through microphone position, equalization and compression.
Want a tight, powerful rock kick with a defined beater attack? Experiment with closer placement and suitable EQ. Prefer a deeper, rounder bass drum sound for a natural acoustic recording? Adjust the position to explore more of the drum's resonance and body.
The T200's focused supercardioid pickup also helps control sound arriving from unwanted directions, making it useful when positioned inside or close to a kick drum in a busy stage or studio environment.
Custom Neodymium Capsules and Miktek Transformers
There's more behind the T Series sound than a simple dynamic microphone element. Both the T100 and T200 use custom-designed neodymium capsules combined with specially developed Miktek output transformers.
The neodymium elements are engineered to reproduce the fast transients, impact and tonal details of acoustic drums, while the transformer-coupled designs form an important part of each microphone's carefully matched audio signal path.
The T100 is voiced to deliver an articulate, punchy response for snare and toms. The T200 is optimized to handle the substantial low-frequency energy of kick drums and bass-rich instruments.
Both microphones are passive dynamic designs and operate from standard microphone inputs without requiring phantom power.
Ready for Loud Drummers and Demanding Live Stages
Drum microphones need to handle powerful acoustic sources, repeated setup and the demanding environment around a complete drum kit.
The T100 and T200 are built with rugged steel grilles and durable die-cast metal bodies. Their distinctive dark gray finish with black accents gives them a professional appearance that looks equally at home on a stage or in a recording studio.
The T100 is specified to handle sound pressure levels up to 150 dB SPL, while the T200 is specified up to 170 dB SPL. This makes the set suitable for close-miking powerful drums without requiring fragile or complicated equipment.
From rehearsal rooms and small clubs to larger live productions and recording studios, the TDK5 offers a robust foundation for professional drum miking.
Four LRM100 Level Lock Rim Mounts – Faster Setup, Less Hardware
Anyone who has set up a fully miked drum kit knows how quickly microphone stands can crowd the stage. Between cymbal stands, pedals, tom mounts and drum hardware, every available space becomes valuable.
The TDK5 includes four Miktek LRM100 Level Lock lever-operated rim-mount clips. These allow the T100 microphones to be attached directly to compatible snare or tom rims, reducing the need for separate microphone stands around the kit.
Position each microphone near the drumhead, adjust the angle and fine-tune the placement to achieve the desired balance of attack and resonance.
Standard microphone clips are also included, allowing conventional stand mounting when preferred. The T200 can likewise be positioned on a suitable microphone stand for kick drum or bass instrument applications.
This flexibility makes the TDK5 particularly practical for touring musicians, live sound companies and studios that need to set up and reposition drum microphones regularly.
More Than Just Drum Microphones
Although the TDK5 has been assembled specifically for drums, the included microphones can also be useful on other instruments.
The T100 microphones are suitable for congas, timbales, hand percussion, loud electric guitar amplifiers and brass instruments. Their focused pickup and ability to handle high sound pressure levels make them useful when recording powerful and dynamic sources.
The T200 can also be used on floor toms, acoustic bass instruments and bass guitar cabinets, where a full and controlled low-frequency response is particularly valuable.
This means the TDK5 can continue to contribute to your sound even when you're not working with a traditional drum kit.
Practical Padded Gig Bag – Keep Your Microphones Organized
The complete TDK5 system is supplied with a padded carrying bag designed to store and transport the microphones together.
For drummers and sound engineers who move regularly between rehearsals, recording studios and live venues, having the microphones and their mounting accessories in one organized package is a real advantage.
The convenient carrying format makes it easy to bring your own drum microphone setup to a rehearsal, a concert or a recording session.
Five Professional Microphones – One Powerful Drum Sound
The Miktek TDK5 gives drummers and engineers a carefully selected collection of professional dynamic microphones: four articulate T100s for snare and toms, a powerful T200 for kick drum, practical rim-mounting accessories and a padded carrying bag.
It's an excellent foundation for a close-miked drum setup on stage or in the studio. Add suitable overhead microphones when you want to capture the cymbals and the complete stereo image of the kit, and you have the flexibility to develop your drum recording system even further.
For anyone who wants punchy, musical drum sound, practical mounting and rugged professional construction, the TDK5 represents a particularly attractive complete dynamic drum microphone package.
