The Kelly SHU™ is an integrated microphone shock-absorption and isolation system, adaptable to any size or depth of bass drum and larger diameter toms. Designed to accept most drum microphones that use an industry-standard mic clip or threaded mounting base. NO DRILLING required for installation.
Bass drum boundary microphones have always faced the challenge of keeping them securely in place inside the drum. We have solved this problem with the introduction of the Kelly SHU FLATZ™ system. This patented bass drum boundary microphone mount, pronounced "flats," is a dedicated shock-absorbing isolation and stabilization platform for the bass drum microphone that installs in minutes without drilling. The system uses the existing hardware inside the drum to attach the included solid rubber support rings between the drum shell and the FLATZ™ mounting unit.
You get an internal isolation platform that holds your bass drum boundary microphones in place so you can leave the microphone inside the drum during transport without fear of the microphone shifting or damaging the inside of your drum shell. The Kelly SHU FLATZ™ platform allows you to lift and remove the microphone from the drum shell or dampening material, bringing it closer to the sound source and opening up the response you will get from the microphone.
The Kelly SHU FLATZ™ platform is composed of 30% fiberglass and high-density polymer resins. Our 3 different Kelly SHU FLATZ™ models are each specifically designed to accommodate the most popular boundary microphones used internally for bass drum miking. Each model has its own set of integrated features that encompass the microphone housing to hold it firmly in position. The solid rubber support ring system is as simple to install as removing and replacing 4 hardware screws inside the drum shell. Simply install the system and insert the intended boundary microphone into the FLATZ™ platform. You are now ready to connect to the audio system using your current means and methods.
