Make: Online : Low frequency percussion mic

Low frequency percussion mic

My DIY low frequency speaker microphone, inspired by the Yamaha Subkick. I feel this one is much better with a dual coil woofer allowing for coil selection, damping, and input modes. Also has its own DI circuit for use as a DI and speaker, and a balanced output. Pad, phase flip, and ground lift included.

He's also created an instructable for the project. Nice remake!

Excellent. I bodged one of these things together a couple of nights ago, sans bells undt vistles, and my kick drum now aids digestion 12 healthy ways.

Highly recommended.

I'm sure that a Rock Band hack will be forthcoming shortly.
