At Arab Instruments, we wanted to create a better and more practical solution for the way darbuka players actually perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeet the \u003cstrong\u003eU-750 Wireless Microphone for Darbuka \u0026amp; Doumbek\u003c\/strong\u003e – a complete wireless microphone system developed around the unique needs of goblet drum players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact \u003cstrong\u003e140 dB SPL microphone and wireless transmitter\u003c\/strong\u003e attach directly to the instrument, so there is no separate bodypack and no microphone cable running from your darbuka to the receiver. Connect the U-750 receiver to your mixer or PA system, set your sound, and you are ready to perform with much greater freedom on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***\u003c\/strong\u003eThis purchase includes the U-750 wireless microphone system only.

A powerful \u003cstrong\u003eDOOM\u003c\/strong\u003e, a sharp \u003cstrong\u003eTAK\u003c\/strong\u003e, finger rolls and fast strokes can all happen within seconds, with very different frequencies and sound pressure levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why we developed this system with \u003cstrong\u003eDarbuka and Doumbek performance\u003c\/strong\u003e in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone is rated for sound pressure levels up to \u003cstrong\u003e140 dB SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it suitable for close placement on loud percussion instruments and dynamic live performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo Bodypack. No Microphone Stand. More Freedom.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional instrument wireless systems often use a microphone connected by cable to a separate bodypack worn by the musician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-750 takes a different approach. The \u003cstrong\u003emicrophone and wireless transmitter are integrated into one compact unit\u003c\/strong\u003e mounted directly on your instrument. Simply attach the small mounting piece to your darbuka, then slide the wireless microphone into place. That's it! No complicated setup, no tools, and no cables getting in your way. Once the mount is attached, you can easily connect or remove the microphone whenever you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo separate bodypack to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo microphone cable running across your body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo microphone stand positioned in front of your darbuka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore freedom to move naturally while performing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cleaner and more professional stage setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor darbuka players who like to move, interact with the audience or simply want a cleaner setup, this can completely change the stage experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant – UHF Frequency: 510–590 MHz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wireless microphone system operates within the \u003cstrong\u003e510–590 MHz UHF frequency range\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease check before ordering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wireless microphone frequency regulations vary by country. Some frequencies within the 510–590 MHz range may be permitted, restricted, or require a license depending on your location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the buyer's responsibility to verify that this frequency range can be legally used for wireless microphones in their country.

The U-750 microphone was selected to work with the high sound pressure and dynamic playing associated with darbuka and other acoustic instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003e140 dB SPL capability\u003c\/strong\u003e helps the microphone handle strong strokes when positioned close to the drum, while allowing the natural character of your instrument and playing technique to come through the audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e A microphone does not create the sound of your darbuka – it captures it. Your final amplified sound depends on the complete audio chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Determines Your Final Darbuka Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe in setting the right expectations. The microphone is only one part of your final sound. Three major factors will determine what your audience ultimately hears:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1. Your Darbuka\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery darbuka sounds different. The body, skin, tuning, construction and your playing technique all affect the depth of the DOOM, sharpness of the TAK and overall character of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good microphone can capture your darbuka, but it cannot turn a poor-sounding or badly tuned instrument into a professional-sounding one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2. Your Mixer \u0026amp; Sound System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-750 receiver connects to your mixer or PA system. The quality of the mixer, amplifier, speakers and the rest of your audio equipment will have a significant effect on the final sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3. Your Mixer Settings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper \u003cstrong\u003egain, EQ, compression, effects and volume settings\u003c\/strong\u003e can make a major difference in the final sound. When using the receiver's separate XLR outputs, your DJ or sound engineer can control each connected instrument independently – particularly useful when using two different instruments, such as a Darbuka and an Oud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results, we recommend taking some time during soundcheck to find the right settings for your particular instrument, venue and sound system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWireless Freedom vs. Maximum Audio Fidelity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-750 was developed to offer a strong balance between \u003cstrong\u003esound quality, wireless freedom, convenience and stage performance\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, we want our customers to understand the difference between a wireless performance system and a high-end professional wired microphone setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your only priority is achieving the \u003cstrong\u003emaximum possible audio fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e for professional studio recording or critical sound applications, a high-end professional wired microphone and recording setup may provide better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want \u003cstrong\u003egood darbuka sound combined with the freedom to perform without being tied to a microphone cable, bodypack or microphone stand\u003c\/strong\u003e, the U-750 was developed for exactly that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnect Two Instruments – Two Ways\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-750 is a \u003cstrong\u003edual-channel wireless receiver\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing you to use two compatible wireless transmitters at the same time. For example, you can connect \u003cstrong\u003etwo Darbukas\u003c\/strong\u003e, or use one transmitter for a Darbuka and another for an \u003cstrong\u003eOud or other compatible instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe receiver gives you \u003cstrong\u003etwo different output options\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on how you want to control the sound:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOption 1 – MIX OUT: Two Instruments Through One Mixer Channel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the receiver's \u003cstrong\u003eMIX OUT\u003c\/strong\u003e to your mixer using the supplied PL cable.
