Used CAD KBM 412 KICK DRUM MIC Microphone

Used CAD KBM412 Kick Drum Microphone

Estimated Year: 2000s–2010s

Made in: China

The CAD KBM412 is a purpose-built kick drum microphone designed to handle high SPL and deliver strong low-end response. Featuring a large-diaphragm dynamic capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern, it’s built to capture the punch and thump of a kick drum while minimizing bleed from the rest of the kit.

This mic is known for its extended low-frequency response and durability, thanks to its heavy die-cast housing and reinforced grille—ideal for live use or rehearsal spaces where gear takes a bit of abuse. It also works well on floor toms, bass cabinets, and other low-frequency instruments.

Compared to higher-end kick mics, this is more of a budget-friendly, workhorse option. It gets the job done with solid low-end presence, though you may need a little EQ shaping depending on your tone goals.
