Audix DP5A 5-Piece Drum Microphone Kit

The Audix DP5A 5-Piece Drum Mic Kit includes a D6 Kick Drum Mic, i5 Snare Drum Mic, 2 D2s Rack Tom Mics, a D4 Floor Tom Mic, and accessories for a full drum kit.

The DP5A professional drum microphone pack contains five microphones required to mic a standard rock kit: kick, snare, rack toms and floor tom. Perfect for stage or studio, this selection of dynamic drum microphones features exclusive Audix VLMTM capsule technology offering accurate sound reproduction in very high SPL applications.

Individual snare and kick microphones complete the essential punch needed for a good drum mix. Being high SPL dynamic microphones, the D6 and i5 excel at “close miking”. This miking technique is required in order to capture the attack and percussive sound of the drum. Also, by having the mic close to the source of the sound, it helps to isolate and control the sound of each drum. With two correctly positioned overhead mics capture the transients, tonality and balance of the kit in a completely phase-coherent manner.

The D6 DYNAMIC INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring extended low-frequency reproduction such as kick drums, large toms, and bass cabinets in stage, studio and broadcast applications.. The D6’s transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow for interference-free performance. The D6 intrument microphone has a tailored frequency response of 30 Hz - 15 kHz and the ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 144 dB. The D6 instrument mic is characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control and is equipped with a VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction. Transformerless design, low impedance and balanced output allow for interference-free performance even with long cable runs. The D6 dynamic instrument mic is lightweight, compact and easy to position. The D6 instrument microphone is manufactured with a precision machined aluminum body, black anodized finish, steel mesh grill and gold plated XLR connector.

The D4 DYNAMIC INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring precise, low-frequency reproduction such as large rack toms, floor toms, cajon, djembe, tympani, leslie bottom, bass flute, saxophone and baritone saxophone, trombone, acoustic bass, bass cabinets, and small kick drums.

The D4 is lightweight, compact, and easy to position. Used for stage, studio, and broadcast applications, the D4 dynamic instrument microphone is designed with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control. The D4 instrument microphone has a wide frequency response of 40 Hz – 18 kHz and the ability to handle SPLs in excess of 144 dB. The D4 instrument mic hypercardioid is also equipped with a VLM™ diaphragm for natural accurate sound reproduction.

The D2 DYNAMIC INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE is an excellent choice for miking instruments with a percussive nature such as rack toms, congas, saxophones, guitar cabinets, and brass in stage, studio, and broadcast applications. Transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output insure that the D2 hypercardioid mic will perform interference-free.

The D2 is characterized with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control and is equipped with a VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction. This mic has a wide frequency response of 68 Hz - 18 kHz and the ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 144 dB. Manufactured with a precision machined aluminum body, durable black anodized finish, dent resistant steel mesh grill and gold plated XLR connector, the D2 is lightweight, compact and easy to position. Transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow for interference-free performance even with long cable runs.

The i5 ALL-PURPOSE DYNAMIC INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE is equipped with a VLM™ diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction on a live stage, in the studio, and in broadcast applications. The i5 is characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control. With a wide frequency response of 50 Hz – 16 kHz, the i5 provides clear sound reproduction without having to rely on EQ. The i5 is able to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB without distortion. Sturdy, compact, and easy to position, the i5 is manufactured with a precision cast zinc alloy body, dent resistant steel grill, durable black E-coat finish and gold plated XLR connector.
