The MONDO is a cardioid dynamic mic purpose-built for bass drum. The MONDO's aggressive frequency contour delivers huge kick drum sounds right out of the box, so you'll likely find little need for EQ. It's fat and massive sounding, with incisive attack and a satisfying weight that captures the full impact and low-frequency energy of the drum. Quality runs throughout the line and is evident in the MONDO's die-cast zinc body and brass/steel grill assembly. GearNuts engineers and drummers are impressed not only with the sound of these mics; their classy Cabernet-red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grill, looks great onstage and in the studio.
