Capture That Kick Drum with the Audix D6

A modern classic mic on bass drum, the D6 kick drum microphone is specially designed to sound great in any position. Its tailored frequency response of 30 Hz to 15 kHz, as well as its cardioid pickup pattern, fills the bill for capturing hard-thumping kicks. If you're recording or reinforcing rock or pop drums, the Audix D6 is simply a must-have mic.

A Single i5 for Snare

Able to capture the snare's rich, deep resonance and biting attack, read more the i5 microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, a smooth and uniform frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz, and high SPL handling in excess of 140 dB. Because the i5 is a cardioid mic, it can give its full attention to the snare or other instrument being miked while rejecting other instruments or ambient noise on the sound stage. When you're not using it on snares, try the i5 on percussion, guitar cabinets, and vocals.

Two D2s Bring Rack Toms to the Front of the Mix

The DP7 package includes two D2 microphones, which accurately reproduce the warmth and natural overtones of toms or congas, without sounding too harsh. According to Audix, the D2 requires very little, if any, EQ, and no gating is needed because of the D2's tight hypercardioid polar pattern.

Seem very well built. Nice that the case comes with extra slots if I need to expand. Switchable Low cut filter and and pad on overheads very useful. Easy to level set and everything worked right the first time. The drummer for one of my bands has this set and as the sound guy I am very impressed with the clarity and lack of bleed through from this mic set. I needed drum mics for my other band and I had no hesitation in getting the Audix Mics.
