Primacoustic Crashguard and Splashguard Drum Mic Isolator Overview
The Primacoustic Crashguard and Splashguard Drum Mic Isolator is a compact and lightweight microphone shield that prevents bleed from cymbals reaching your drum shell microphone. By isolating your drum shells and reducing bleed from cymbals, you can place your microphone in the best position possible for your recording and gain a cleaner audio signal. Designed to not alter the response of your microphone, the Primacoustic Crashguard and Splashguard allows you to process and mix your microphone signal without accentuating the sound of the adjacent cymbal.
Compact and lightweight, with the Crashguard and Splashguard Drum Mic Isolator, you can mount most popular drum recording microphones with ease, allowing you to get closer to your drum shells for maximum isolation, giving you more control over the sound of your projects. An integrated microphone stand adapter allows you to fit all standard microphone stands and the extended cable cutout allows any microphone cable to be placed through. Constructed from tough ABS, the Primacoustic Crashguard can withstand any accidental strikes from a drum stick, making it ready for the rigours of the road or studio sessions.
With a high-density, open-cell acoustic foam absorber liner, you can eliminate internal reflections, effectively eliminating phase cancellation and comb filtering without altering the tone of your microphone. The perfect solution for studio engineers and live sound engineers, you can now isolate your snare drums, toms and percussion from hi-hats or crash cymbals to get cleaner, more precise mixes in your projects.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionEffectively eliminate treble-bleed
The Crashguard is designed to isolate your drum microphones, reducing bleed from nearby cymbals to make more accurate and isolated mixes than ever before. Once set up, you can accurately capture the sound of your drum shell with no colouration, letting you make mixing adjustments such as adding a high-shelf EQ that won't accentuate the sound of nearby cymbals. It's important to note that the Crashguard will heavily attenuate nearby cymbal volume however it will not completely eliminate it. This helps to preserve the depth and realism you get from recording acoustic drums in a studio.
As high-frequency waveforms are more directive than low-frequency waves, it's easier to predict how they will move. The Crashguard has been designed with side-facing acoustic foam to ensure that the directivity of your cymbals won't hit your microphone capsule.
Designed for the studio
Constructed from high-impact ABS, the lightweight Crashguard will seamlessly attach to your boom arm and with an extra deep cutout, you can run any size microphone cable through with ease. Rugged enough to endure any accidental hits from even the hardest of drummers, you can be sure that you can use it again and again for all of your recording sessions or live shows. Tested to fit for many major drum microphones, the Primacoustic Crashguard lets you use all of your normal microphone arsenal to capture the drums of your dreams.
