SABIAN Low Profile Crotale Bar – Low Octave Set
The SABIAN Low Profile Crotale Bar delivers a compact, manageable setup for recording and production work that requires authentic crotale textures without the footprint of traditional full sets. The low-profile design and shorter mounting pins make this an excellent choice for studio sessions and overdubbing situations where rack real estate and mic placement flexibility are critical. This 13-disc low octave set covers the fundamental register of the crotale family with articulate, focused tones that capture cleanly on tape and mix with clarity in the low-mid spectrum.
Sonic Character & Recording Performance
Tuned to A=442, this set spans from Low C to Middle C, providing the darker, resonant frequencies that sit naturally in orchestral arrangements and contemporary production mixes. The B20 bronze construction delivers the warm, bright attack characteristic of SABIAN’s crotales, with sustain and clarity that records well in both close-miked and ambient recording techniques.
Design & Workflow Integration
The steel-reinforced mounting bar stem ensures stable, rattle-free performance during takes and extended punch-in sessions, while the countersunk center holes with recessed rubber caps isolate the discs and reduce vibration bleed into microphones and monitor systems. The included stand/base provides a professional, session-ready setup that integrates seamlessly into any studio configuration.
