Follow these steps to set up your Behringer BC1200 microphone set:

  1. KM1200 Kick Drum Microphone:
    • Position the KM1200 microphone on a sturdy microphone stand (not included) inside or just outside the kick drum's resonant head.
    • Aim the microphone towards the beater for a punchier sound, or towards the center of the drum for more resonance.
    • Connect an XLR cable from the KM1200 to an available input on your audio interface or mixer.
  2. TM1200 Snare/Tom Microphones:
    • Attach the provided drum rim clips to the rim of your snare drum and tom drums.
    • Securely mount each TM1200 microphone into its respective clip.
    • Position the microphone approximately 1-2 inches above the drum head, angled towards the center.
    • Connect XLR cables from each TM1200 to separate inputs on your audio interface or mixer.
  3. CM1200 Overhead Microphones:
    • Mount the CM1200 microphones onto two separate microphone stands (not included).
    • Place the windscreen foams onto the CM1200 microphones to reduce plosives and wind noise.
    • Position these microphones above the drum kit, typically one over the hi-hat/snare side and one over the floor tom/ride cymbal side, to capture the overall sound of the cymbals and the kit's ambience.
    • Ensure they are equidistant from the snare drum for phase coherence.
    • Connect XLR cables from each CM1200 to separate inputs on your audio interface or mixer.
