Audix DP7 Professional Seven Piece Drum Microphone Kit with Case

Make your drum recordings stand out with the DP7 Professional Seven Piece Drum Microphone Kit from Audix, a comprehensive solution tailored for the discerning professional drummer seeking high-quality, durable, and versatile miking options for both live performances and studio sessions. This innovative kit includes an array of microphones meticulously designed to capture the true essence of your percussion instruments.

At the heart of the DP7 kit lies the D6, Audix's flagship kick drum microphone, renowned for its robust low-frequency response ranging from 30Hz to 15kHz. The D6's cardioid pickup pattern excels in delivering a punchy, defined kick sound without the need for meticulous positioning, thanks to its VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm technology that ensures natural and precise sound reproduction.

Complementing the kick drum mic are two D2 microphones, optimized for rack toms. Their hypercardioid polar pattern ensures focused pickup and exceptional isolation, delivering the toms' dynamic sound with warmth and clarity, while minimizing the need for EQ adjustments or gating.

For the floor tom, the DP7 kit includes the D4 microphone, which extends the low-end capture an octave below the D2, ensuring that even the deepest tones are reproduced with accuracy and depth. Its flat linear response makes it an incredibly versatile tool for any drum requiring extended bass frequencies.

The i5 microphone, included for the snare, is engineered to handle the snare's potent attack while capturing its rich tonal body. Its cardioid polar pattern concentrates on the snare, effectively rejecting off-axis noise and ambient sound. With a frequency response of 50Hz to 16kHz and the ability to withstand high sound pressure levels, the i5 is also suitable for a variety of other instruments, from guitar cabinets to vocals.

For overhead miking, two ADX51 condenser microphones are provided, delivering pristine high-frequency detail and excellent stereo imaging for cymbals and hi-hats. These mics feature a -10dB pad and bass roll-off filter, enhancing their adaptability for recording a wide array of acoustic instruments.

The DP7 kit is thoughtfully packaged with four D-Vice rim mount clips for secure and precise placement of the snare and tom mics, along with three heavy-duty tension fit mic clips for the other microphones. All components are housed in a foam-lined aluminum road case, ensuring your microphones are protected and organized when not in use.

With the DP7 Professional Seven Piece Drum Microphone Kit, you're equipped with a professional-grade arsenal, ready to deliver high-quality, consistent sound capture in any setting. Whether you're a touring drummer or a studio engineer, this kit offers the reliability and performance that Audix is celebrated for, making it a superior choice for professionals seeking the best in drum miking solutions.
