Drum microphone for toms and snares

The 5 Core TOM XP COPPEREX is a dynamic moving-coil microphone with a cardioid uni-directional pattern. It connects via a gold-plated XLR output and is compatible with all standard audio interfaces and mixers. Designed for drummers and engineers who need focused capture of tom and snare drums in live or studio settings.

Frequency response 50Hz to 16KHz

The tailored 50Hz-16KHz response captures rich low-end and punchy mid-tones of toms alongside the bright attack of snares. High sensitivity at -49dB handles high sound pressure levels and delivers full dynamics of powerful strikes without distortion. The 400 ohm impedance provides a balanced signal for optimal transmission to your preamp.

Rugged metal construction with low handling noise

Durable metal build withstands intense live and studio drumming while the integrated angle-adjustable holder allows flexible positioning. Cardioid pattern rejects off-axis noise and isolates the microphone from nearby instruments. Low handling noise ensures clean capture even when the stand or kit vibrates during performance.

Questions about this item

Will the 400 Ohm output impedance work with my older mixer that expects a low-impedance mic?

Yes — the mic presents a 400 Ohm output impedance, which is the standard low-impedance range for professional XLR inputs on mixers and audio interfaces.

How can I verify the cardioid pattern is rejecting off-axis sound after I mount it?

With the mic aimed at the drum centre, tap the shell off-axis — the level should drop noticeably compared to an on-axis hit, proving the cardioid rejection is working.

Does the kit include an XLR cable or stand, or do I need to buy them separately?

The box contains the microphone with its built-in angle-adjustable holder and a gold-plated XLR connector; an XLR cable and a drum mount or stand are not included and must be purchased separately.
