Tabla Mic 2XP for Indian classical instruments

The 5 Core Tabla Mic 2XP is a dedicated microphone set built for Bayan and Dayan tabla, plus dholak and mridangam. It serves musicians, teachers and recording engineers who need authentic capture of traditional percussion in temples, classrooms, studios or on stage. The copper-finished metal housings are made to withstand regular live and studio use.

Moving coil dynamic elements

Each microphone uses a moving coil dynamic capsule with a uni-directional polar pattern to focus on the instrument and reject off-axis sound. The Dayan mic covers 50Hz to 16KHz at -49dB sensitivity with 400Ω output impedance. The Bayan mic covers 50Hz to 14KHz with 500Ω output impedance, both compatible with standard mixers and interfaces.

Carry case and adjustable mounting included

A protective carry case makes the set portable for touring musicians moving between venues. Flexible mounting hardware lets you position each mic precisely on the drum for optimal tonal balance. Feedback rejection circuitry helps keep the signal clean during high-volume stage performances or amplified classroom sessions.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Dayan and Bayan microphones on the tabla, and what positioning mistake should I avoid?

Use the flexible mounting system to clip each mic onto its drum; position the uni-directional capsules toward the drumhead centre and avoid pointing them at monitors or PA speakers to prevent feedback.

What part of this microphone set is most likely to need replacement after extended live use?

The moving coil dynamic elements inside the Dayan and Bayan mics are the primary wear items; the metal chassis and mounting hardware are built for durability.

At what sound-pressure level will the uni-directional pattern start to lose rejection during a loud stage performance?

The specifications list sensitivity and impedance but not a maximum SPL figure, so the exact feedback-rejection limit under sustained high volume is not defined.
