Description

  • Small diaphragm for accurate transient response
  • Frequency response optimized for snares, hi-hats, and cymbals
  • Solid aluminum construction
  • Super-cardioid pattern for enhanced isolation

The M422 is optimized for use with snare drums, hi-hats, and cymbals. The small diaphragm responds instantaneously to transients, accurately capturing percussive attacks. Its supercardioid polar pattern and precisely tailored low frequency roll-off enhance the isolation of individual drums while reducing interference from the bass drum and floor toms. The small size of the M422 allows it to be placed anywhere around the drum without hampering the drummer’s freedom of movement. Its solid aluminum case handles the physical abuse a drum set must endure.
