DPA Microphones 4055 Kick Drum Microphone
4055 Kick Drum Microphone.
The 4055 redefines the traditional kick drum microphone by giving sound designers full control over their tone—no pre-tailored sound, just pure flexibility. It delivers DPA’s signature clarity and linear frequency response, both on-axis and off-axis, with superb low-frequency performance, tight dynamics, and well-defined mids and highs.
Unlike most kick drum mics, the 4055 is not pre-shaped for a specific genre, allowing professionals to craft the exact sound they want. For more attack, position the mic inside the drum pointing at the beater; for deep, sub-heavy lows, place it just outside the front head. Adjusting the mic’s angle near the drum hole captures additional tonal nuances, ensuring the true kick drum sound is represented across any style—classic, jazz, rock, or beyond.
Built for durability and precision, the 4055 features a large, robust housing with wind-damping foam in front of the capsule and a specially designed internal shock mount to isolate vibrations from the stage. Its asymmetric design allows easy placement through the drum hole without damaging the resonator skin.
The 4055 is also versatile beyond kick drums. Its flat, uncolored frequency response makes it excellent for electric guitar cabinets, bass, horns, and other instruments, delivering a natural, detailed sound across a wide range of sources.
