Audix DR456 Drum Microphone Combo Pack (4xi5, 1xD6, 4xDVice)

The D6 is an American-made instrument microphone designed for live and studio performance. Characterized by a cardioid pick-up pattern and a frequency response of 30 Hz - 15 kHz, the D6 is an ideal choice for kick drum, bass cabs, and other instruments requiring low-frequency reproduction. Transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow interference-free performance even with long cable runs. The D6, a one-piece body precision machined from solid aluminum, consists of a durable hard-coat anodized finish.

The i-5 is a professional dynamic instrument microphone designed for a wide variety of applications for live sound and studio performance. Characterized with a cardioid pick-up pattern and a frequency response of 50 Hz - 15 kHz, the i-5is an ideal choice for snare, toms, percussion instruments, electric guitar cabs, brass, and acoustic instruments. Clear, accurate, and able to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB, the i-5 can also be utilized for speech and vocals. Transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow interference-free performance, even with long cable runs. The i-5 housing and grill are precision-cast parts made of zinc-alloy metal, with durable black e-coat finish.

The D-Vice is a gooseneck clip designed primarily for use on drums. It works with Audix D series, Micro D series, and most other mic clips using a 5/8 in. thread.
