Internal Miking System™ |
An advancement in both technology and sonic isolation, the MAY patented Monorail Miking system was created specifically for the dynamics of the kick drum. In conjunction with the MAY IND miking system, the monorail installation is drill free and the preeminent miking system for your kick drum. The patented design uses the drum's current vent hole while still allowing the drum to breathe.
Monorail Design™
Designed to lineally track the microphone to and from the battery head, with additional rotation to and from the center of the drum, the patented monorail provides the drummer an authentic and precise opportunity to navigate for that ultimate Sonic sweet spot within the drum.
Aluminum Chassis
Machined out of tempered aircraft aluminum alloy, and finished in a black anodizing, the ultra-lightweight monorail adds minimal weight to the drum, while strong enough to withstand frequent transport on the road.
Non-Drill Installation
Non drill installation in now standard for all MAY Internal Miking systems.
Controlled Sound
The Internal Miking System allows for a consistent, controlled sound, and without the disruption of external interference.
Sonic Isolation
