Purpose-Built Indian Percussion Set

The 5 Core Tabla Mic BLK is a pair of dynamic moving-coil microphones tuned specifically for Bayan and Dayan tabla, as well as mridangam and dholak. Its uni-directional pattern targets each drum while rejecting ambient sound. The set suits musicians recording at home, performing live on stage, teaching in classrooms or amplifying bhajans in temple gatherings.

Mounting Flexibility and Feedback Control

Adjustable mounts let you position each capsule precisely over the drum head for optimal capture. Built-in feedback rejection keeps the signal clean at high stage volumes. A lightweight carry case is included so the pair travels safely between studio, classroom and venue without extra bulk.

Frequency Coverage and Signal Headroom

The Bayan microphone covers 20 Hz to 15 kHz at -60 dB sensitivity with 500 Ω impedance, while the Dayan unit covers 50 Hz to 12 kHz at -54 dB with 600 Ω impedance. Together they handle deep bass tones and bright slap frequencies. Very quiet sources or extremely loud transients beyond these ranges may need additional gain staging or alternative capsules.

Questions about this item

Will the uni-directional dynamic elements need periodic replacement after heavy stage use?

The dynamic moving-coil elements are built into a durable metal body designed to withstand regular live performance and studio sessions without scheduled replacement.

Which specification limits continuous high-SPL capture first — the 500 Ω impedance or the -60 dB sensitivity?

The Bayan microphone's high sensitivity of -60 dB ±3 dB will reach preamp headroom limits before the 500 Ω ±30 % output impedance becomes a constraint.

How much heat or noise does the pair generate when mounted on tabla for an all-day recording session?

As passive dynamic microphones they draw no power, produce no self-heating and add no electronic noise during extended operation.
