Nady DM-80 Reviews

Great value for the cost

Very good value for the money, that's for sure! I've used it once so far, and it sounds great. I never expected to be able to buy a great sounding bass drum mic for so cheap.

If someone sells this to you for $130

If someone sells this to you for $130 and you know nothing about this mic except just listening to it, you'll buy it. Put the DM-80 in front of a cajon and you'll see. Very full and very rich. I love it.
