The Earthworks KP1 Kick Pad solves a problem many small studios and live groups encounter: you have a limited number of available mics and can't fit the expense of a dedicated kick drum mic in your collection.

The Earthworks KP1 Kick Pad works with both dynamic and condenser mics and allows you to continue using them on any other application when you need them.
Earthworks is renowned for their premium-grade condenser microphone designs. They're used for critical recording and reference work in studios and concert halls around the world.

With the Earthworks KP1 Kick Pad all you need to do is plug it into your kick drum line and you'll instantly hear improved sound.
Installing the Earthworks KP1 Kick Pad is easy. Just plug one end into your mic's XLR output and connect the other to the mic cable - that's all! The Earthworks KP1 Kick Pad doesn't need any settings, adjustment or power connection. It automatically goes to work, turning your mic into a kick-optimized performer. The Earthworks KP1 Kick Pad's slim barrel shape doesn't take up any rack space or stage space. Almost invisible, the Earthworks KP1 Kick Pad could be the "secret weapon" that will make your mixes stand out!

Useful… sometimes
May 17th 2012Useful to get more quickly the sound on the kick drum for live gigs. But you don't need this pad for studio work. The result is not as efficient with all microphones, I like it with D112 or RE20 but not with D6 for example.
