General Characteristics
The MXL A-55 KICKER is a heavy duty dynamic microphone tuned
specifically for kick drums and other low frequency applications such as
bass guitar amps. The A-55 KICKER utilizes a cardioid pickup pattern to
pinpoint the best sound while minimizing bleed from the rest of the drum
kit.
Contents
Unpack your MXL A-55 KICKER microphone carefully and verify that all of
the following items are included:
•MXL A-55 KICKER microphone
•Microfiber cleaning cloth
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the company from
which you purchased the microphone.
Microphone Cable
The microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of
any microphone. Even the finest microphone will sound poor if the
interconnect cable allows noise to enter or causes distortion and loss of
information. We recommend that you use the best microphone cable that
your budget will allow.
Care
Dust and foreign material can reduce the performance of a microphone
over time, so you should store the MXL A-55 KICKER in its box when not
in use.
How to Use
Correct placement of you A-55 KICKER will be critical. We recommend
you try different positions to find the best sound. We also recommend
placing the A-55 KICKER close to your kick drum and pointing the head
(capsule) directly at the sound hole.
