Become the master of your drum sound with the DP Elite 8 Drum Mic Kit. This comprehensive set is the perfect solution for miking up a 5-piece drum kit, whether you're performing live on stage or recording in the studio. The kit includes eight high-quality, professional-grade microphones from Audix, a brand renowned for its innovative and durable audio equipment.
The DP Elite 8 Drum Mic Kit features the D6, Audix's flagship kick drum mic, known for its broad frequency response of 30Hz-15kHz and a cardioid pick-up pattern. This microphone is designed to deliver a rich sound, regardless of the drum's position, thanks to its legendary VLM technology.
The kit also includes two D2 mics for rack toms, which accurately reproduce the warmth and overtones of the instrument without sounding harsh or boomy. The D2's tight hypercardioid polar pattern requires minimal EQ and no gating, making it an ideal choice for capturing the dynamic sound of toms or congas.
The D4 mic is designed for floor toms, providing an additional octave of low-end response beyond the D2. This versatile microphone responds down to below 40 Hz, a remarkable feat for a microphone of this size.
The i5 snare mic in the kit captures the deep resonance of the snare along with the attack necessary to cut through the mix. 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 is also suitable for a wide variety of instrument applications, including percussion, guitar cabs, and vocals.
The kit is rounded off with a pair of SCX1C overhead mics and the SCX1-HC for high-hat. These sensitive microphones provide imaging and audio detail beyond your expectations, with a smooth uniform response over a frequency range of 40Hz-20kHz.
The DP Elite 8 Drum Mic Kit also includes four D-Vice rim mount clips for the snare and tom mics, and three heavy-duty tension fit mic clips for the SCX1 microphones. All these components are conveniently packaged in a foam-lined aluminum carrying case for safe storage and transport when the mics are not in use.
With the DP Elite 8 Drum Mic Kit, you'll have everything you need to capture the full range of your drum set's sound with precision and clarity.
