CAD Audio D85 Dynamic Snare Drum Microphone for Live Sound and Studio Recording (AMS-D85)

CAD D85 Dynamic Snare Drum Microphone (AMS-D85)

Compact Dynamic Microphone for Snare Drums and Percussive Instruments

The CAD D85 is a compact, high-performance dynamic microphone designed specifically for snare drum capture and other mid-to-high frequency instruments. Engineered for both live sound and studio recording, it delivers clear, focused sound reproduction with excellent articulation and precision.

Its tailored frequency response features a controlled low-end roll-off to reduce unwanted rumble and a smooth high-frequency attenuation to minimize harshness, resulting in a balanced and natural sound. The cardioid pickup pattern offers excellent off-axis rejection and high gain before feedback, helping isolate the intended sound source while reducing stage bleed and ambient noise. With its compact form factor, the D85 allows for easy placement in tight drum setups without interfering with performance. Built with a rugged metal housing, it is designed for reliable, long-term professional use.
