Discontinued - The DrAlienSmith Subkick-01

As of August 2021 the DrAlienSmith Subkick-01 has been discontinued. The speaker that we use inside the mic is no longer being manufactured.

The Subkick-01 Low Frequency Microphone is based on the classic speaker mic or 'subkick' design. These mics specialize in capturing very low bass frequencies, and in combination with other mics, add amazing low end punch to sources such as kick drums, bass and guitar amps.

With our design we utilize a low output wattage, full range 6.5" speaker in combination with a vented bamboo shell which provides mechanical air damping. Both of these elements ensure that the Subkick-01 runs at a safe output level, similar to a condensor mic,   so you can plug it into  most mic preamps without the need of a DI.  The Subkick-01 also features Canare cable on the inside, a Neutrik xlr connector on the outside and a built in mic stand mount.

The Subkick-01 and 02 use identical speakers, cable and connectors. The only difference is the shell.

Contact me to get a dropbox link to a wav file or listen to this soundcloud link soundcloud.com/draliensmith/subkick-test-on-drums of an audio test of the Subkick-01 on a kick drum. Remember to listen to it with good quality headphones or speakers as the main benefit of using the Subkick-01 is in the LOW frequencies which you WON'T hear through your phone or laptop speakers.
