Installation
Setting up the DK707 is straightforward. Use the tension-mounted rim clips to secure the Q72 microphones directly to the rims of the snare and toms. Position the Q71 inside or just in front of the kick drum port using the swivel adapter. Finally, place the C02 condensers above the kit as overheads or near the hi-hats to capture the shimmering high-end frequencies and overall kit ambience.
Compatibility
The Samson DK707 is compatible with any standard audio interface, mixing console, or PA system equipped with XLR inputs. Note that the C02 pencil condenser microphones require +48V Phantom Power from your interface or mixer to operate.
