Electro-Voice RE20 Dynamic Cardioid MicrophoneThe Kelly SHU is a whole new approach to kick drum microphone mounting systems. Both internal and external installations of the system utilize the bass drum’s pre-existing hardware, which then becomes the framework for an integrated kick drum microphone shock mount and isolation support system.

The Kelly SHU provides your favorite standard kick drum microphone the shock-mounted, suspended platform needed to ward off stage vibration, low-end soundwave transfer and other mechanical interferences from clouding up your kick drum signal. The lengthy isolation cords provide an effective disconnection of the microphone from the kick drum and the stage that the kick drum sits on, both at the same time.

The Kelly SHU kick drum microphone mounting system will eliminate the requirement of a separate stand, boom arm and bulky counter-weight for the kick drum microphone. Not only does the system save you valuable floor space, but you’ll also save time at set-up because the microphone can stay with the drum during transport. The Kelly SHU™ will stay in place, remaining positioned exactly where you want it every time you move and set up the drums! Just plug in and GO!

What a fantastic idea The Kelly SHU™ is, does exactly what it says on the tin and it allows you to position the mic just where you want it, all that without the use of a stand. PERFECT!!!!!
