FAQ

Is the P17 available separately after purchase?

Can the Drum Set Session I be used for recording instruments other than drums?
Yes. The P2 is excellent for bass amplifier miking, the P17s work well on acoustic guitar and brass, and the P4 dynamic microphones can be used on guitar amplifiers and other percussion instruments.

Does the set include microphone clips and stands?
The set includes the microphones in an aluminum case. Microphone clips and stands may need to be purchased separately — contact Procure.ae for a complete drum miking setup quote.
