Tom Mic was designed for use on rack and floor toms in the studio and onstage, with attention paid to achieving high-definition sound and a high degree of off-axis rejection (reportedly up to 28 dB). It’s a side-address, pressure-gradient FET condenser microphone with a 32mm supercardioid, center-terminated capsule, and requires 48VDC phantom power.
Tom Mic is a hefty little thing, constructed entirely from metal, with a solid brass head frame that should stand up to robust whacks from a drumstick (I thought it’d be too rude to do a smash test). As is the case with all of the company’s products, Tom Mic was designed by Lauten Audio in California. It ships in a cardboard box with an adjustable hard mount and a zippered pouch.
