Drums: The Groove Pack
The Groove Pack includes all the Percep-
tion Series microphones you need to mic
up a drum kit perfectly in a convenient
flightcase.
Tom-toms, floor toms, snare drum:
Place the microphones (AKG P 4) onto
the rim looking into the centre of the
drum from above.
Hi-hat and overhead: Aim the P 17 small-
diaphragm cardioid microphone at the
cymbals from above.
Kick drum: Place the microphone inside
the opening in the front head. The greater
its distance from the beater head, the
more bass-heavy the sound will be.
Aiming the mic straight at the point where
the beater strikes the head produces a click
sound with almost no low frequencies.
AKG’s Groove Pack is a start-up kit for drummers.
It contains 6 microphones from the new Perception live series:
1 x P 2 bass microphone
2 x P 17* for overheads
3 x P 4 for toms and snare
This complete set comes in a protective aluminium carrying case.
*P 17 is technically identical to P 170 (see page 15) and not available as a single unit.
