KicKPlAte
The KickPlate™ is a microphone platform that combines a large stabilizing
base with an isolation pad to prevent resonance from the stage, riser or
studio oor from entering the microphone inside a kick drum. Designed for
boundary microphones such as the Shure Beta 91, the KickPlate helps
eliminate the problem by decoupling the microphone from the bottom of
the kick drum while introducing a stabilizing mass to hold the microphone
rmly in place.
The design uses a unique ‘double hull pontoon’ shape made from high
density foam that adapts to drum sizes ranging from 16” to 24”. A heavy
laser-cut 1⁄4” steel plate provides the mass to stabilize the microphone and
is augmented with a neoprene top surface that secures the microphone in
place even when submitted to severe vibrations.
For those who travel, four cutout slots provide tie-down points to help hold
the KickPlate rmly in place. These slots can then be attached to the inside
lugs of the bass drum using heavy wire.
Features:
• Unique pontoon shape adapts to any size kick drum
• Laser-cut steel platform for added mass sits ush inside the foam
• Neoprene top pad is sized for all boundary mics
Beta 91
Boundary
microphone.
Benets:
• Stops oor, stage and drum riser resonance from entering the microphone
• Getting a great kick drum sound is quick and easy
• Tie-down points so you can keep it inside the drum, even when travelling
Cool Stuff:
• Replaces the pillow in the kick drum
• Holds mic in place for a better transient attack
• Like a Recoil Stabilizer for your kick drum!
