Made for use on toms.
Equipped with our newly designed Super-cardioid capsule and dual-bias circuitry, Tom Mic captures pure, high-definition rack and floor tom sonics with maximum impact and tone while minimizing cymbal bleed.
Our bleed-blocking head design and dual-bias circuitry work together to provide Tom Mic with up to 28dB of off-axis rejection. Experience crisp, clear tom sounds with far less cymbal bleed than a traditional dynamic or condenser microphone.
A super-cardioid large diaphragm condenser capsule, circuitry designed for high-dynamic range, and a body crafted for proper air flow. Tom Mic was built for one reason.
The power of a condenser with better rejection than a dynamic.
Pro sound and isolation straight into your interface.
Studio sound and isolation, built for the rigors of touring.
There is something about this kit in this room and in that spot. Step in with us as we celebrate the iconic Metallica Black Album drums.
Every Tom Mic includes an articulating swivel mount and Cordura® microphone zipper bag.
The meaning of our work is shaped by the art and feedback of our creative family.
"I’ll be straight. This is the best tom mic I’ve ever used. Not “for the money” and not “in certain situations.” Just period. I’ve always preferred LDCs on toms because nothing beats that transient speed in the highs and the extended low end down into the 40 to 50 Hz range. The problem was always bleed. Drummer. Cymbals. Chaos. Tom Mic fixed that. I get the transient top end, the weight below 100 Hz, and the rejection is so strong I stopped using triggers for gate side chaining. I can drop this right in the middle of a loud kit and still get clean, focused toms every time. Every time I throw these up I say the same thing. “This is exactly the sound that was in my head.” Big. Clean. Controlled. Zero drama."
"This is truly my favorite tom mic. The sonic texture, the transient, and the rejection all combine to make this the absolute perfect tom mic. I haven’t changed them once since they got set up."

Frequently asked questions for Tom Mic.
You will experience much less off-axis cymbal bleed, and the bleed that does come through is musical rather than harsh or abrasive. This minimizes the need for gating and makes EQ and compression a breeze.
Tom Mic was specifically designed and tuned for toms. Its size, off-axis rejection, sound, and management of cymbal bleed are fully optimized for that purpose. The LS-308 is a powerful noise-rejecting condenser microphone built to isolate sound sources from their environment. It is an incredible tool for near-impossible situations, and it also happens to sound great on toms.
We designed Tom Mic to perform outside a drummer's strike zone just as well as other microphones perform within it, so hopefully you won’t encounter this. However, if a grill ever needs replacing, the process is straightforward, and replacements are available on our website.
