Professional 5-piece Drum Mic Package
The DP5A is a perfect complement of dynamic microphones for
close miking a 5 piece kit. All mics perform equally well whether it be
on a live stage or in the studio.
Included in the DP5A drum mic
package is the D6, Audix's flagship kick drum mic, two - D2's for rack
toms, one - D4 for floor tom, and one - i5 for snare. Also included are
four DVICE rim mount clips for every mic except the D6 kick drum mic,
which comes with a heavy duty snap to fit nylon clip.
All mics
and clips are conveniently packaged in a foam-lined aluminum carrying
case for travel or safe keeping when the mics are not in use.
THE MICS:
D6 for kick drum
The
D6 has a frequency response of 30Hz-15kHz and is characterized with a
cardioid pick-up pattern. The D6 is designed for easy positioning
and and is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The
D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D
Series microphones extremely popular for today's live stages and
recording studios.
i5 for snare
The
i5's cardioid polar pattern allows it to focus on the specific
instrument that is being miked while rejecting other instruments or
ambient noise on stage. With a smooth and uniform frequency response of
50 Hz-16 kHz and an ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of
140 dB, the i5 can be used for a wide variety of applications and for
all genres of music.
D2s for rack toms
For
bringing out the natural, dynamic sound of toms or congas, nothing
compares to the D2! The D2 accurately reproduces the warmth and punch
required for a successful percussion sound, avoiding the
typical muddy "boom" that can mar a good stage mix or a recording. The
D2's natural warmth makes it a great choice for many instruments
including saxophone, brass and woodwinds.
D4 for floor tom
The
D4, with an exceptional frequency response of 40 Hz - 18 kHz, will
successfully capture the true sound of instruments that require bass
reproduction. When it comes to the attack, harmonics, and decay of the
large toms, the D4 is a perfect choice. Lightweight and easy to
position, the D4 is also an excellent choice for cajon, djembe, tympani,
leslie bottom, bass flute, saxophone, bass cabinets and small kick
drums.
