To capture the full frequency response of a kick drum, many engineers have deployed a DIY method involving a reverse-wired speaker. The Solomon LoFReQ offers you an easy, foolproof way to achieve the same result — without tearing your speaker apart. This sub-style dynamic microphone boasts a 6.5-inch driver, with a bidirectional polar pattern, to capture an impressive 50Hz to 3kHz. The LoFReQ's gain and impedance are a near match for a 52-type dynamic microphone, and it includes a customized inline pad for controlling unruly levels and a built-in mount for easy attachment to a standard mic stand. A rugged Tolex-wrapped fiberboard shell, heavy-duty protective grilles, and a robust Neutrik output jack equip the LoFReQ for perilous front-of-kick mic placement. To top it off, the LoFReQ weighs a mere four pounds — much lighter than previous sub-style microphone solutions.
Sub-style drum sounds made easy
The LoFReQ is the easiest way to achieve reverse-speaker kick drum sounds we've ever encountered here at Sweetwater. Many of us have handcrafted DIY'd rewired speakers during our studio exploits, and many of us have used an old-school sub-style mic (which weighs a ton). The LoFReQ delivers the classic reverse-speaker sound, and it weighs in at 4.1 pounds! This revolutionary dynamic microphone comes loaded with a 6.5-inch driver, which yields a bidirectional polar pattern and offers a hearty 50Hz to 3kHz frequency response. If you've used a 52-type kick drum mic, you'll find the LoFReQ's gain and impedance to be an almost exact match. Plus, the LoFReQ attaches effortlessly to a standard mic stand via its built-in mount — positioning your sub-style microphone has never been easier!
