DW Drums Product Information Page said:Because it gives them the easiest, most consistent method for capturing and controlling their drum sound, the patented, state-of-the-art MAY Internal Drum Miking System is preferred by more and more of today’s most discriminating recording and touring drummers. The System combines a full range of the same performance-proven AKG, Audix, Audio-Technica, Electro-Voice, Sennheiser and Shure microphones that are already used by world-class sound engineers with an exclusive choice of permanent or non-drill internal mounting adapters.
Internal mounting provides maximum presence and isolation from ambience and mechanical vibration with virtually no leakage, feedback or cross-talk. In addition to these acoustical advantages, internal mounting also keeps the mic’s out of your way so you’ll never have to worry about ruining a take by accidentally hitting them. Plus, not only does the May System allow you to capture every bit of your sound from inside the drum, where the sound is, it also lets you take control of it. With MAY mic’s and a 8, 12 or 16-channel mixer, amplifying, mixing and monitoring— adding EQ and effects in studio and live situations— are now in your hands.
So, why not join today’s top pro’s who rely on the MAY Internal Drum Miking System? From local clubs and home recording to worldwide concert stages and studios, MAY mic’s will help you sound your best no matter what the style or situation.
