Description

The Audix DP QUAD Professional Drum & Percussion Mic Package is currently retailing at GBP 699 and it is out of stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Mic Pro think that Audix nailed it with the Audix DP QUAD Professional Drum & Percussion Mic Package.

Here’s what Audix say:

The DPQUAD pack consists of four microphones grouped together to mic a full drum kit. This arrangement employs a left overhead mic to cover hi-hat, cymbals and rack toms, and a right overhead mic to capture the floor tom and ride cymbal. Individual snare and kick mics complete the essential punch needed for a good drum mix. All mics, clips and accessories are packed in a durable aluminium carrying case.

Close Miking

The D6 for kick drum and the i5 for snare are considered musthaves for every drummer. The kick and snare are considered the core of any drum kit and the foundation for every groove. Close miking insures that they will be captured in the mix. If either the kick or the snare is unable to be heard, there is simply no foundation. Being high SPL dynamic microphones, the D6 and i5 excel at “close miking”. This miking technique is required in order to capture the attack and percussive sound of the drum. Also, by having the mic close to the source of the sound, it helps to isolate and control the sound of each drum.

Overhead (ambient) Miking

Supporting the idea that “less is more”, there are many engineers who will use just two overhead mics to capture the natural sound of the complete drum kit. With two overhead mics, positioned correctly, it is absolutely true that you can capture the transients, tonality and balance of the kit in a completely phase-coherent manner. The ADX51, which is a pre-polarized condenser microphone with a 14mm gold sputtered diaphragm, is designed with overhead applications in mind. Due to its cardioid pickup pattern, high sensitivity and slim pencil design, the two ADX51 mics can be easily positioned overhead to provide a nice stereo image of the entire drum kit.

The Blend

With contemporary music and the volumes typically generated on stage, it is more practical and effective to create a blended effect of close miking and overhead miking – the exact intent of the DPQUAD. The D6 will help provide the earthshaking lows and the attack of the kick; the i5 will reinforce the depth and crack of the snare; the overheads will pick up the high-hat, tom fills, cymbals and the amb

Drum

A drum microphone is specifically designed to capture the sound of drums and other percussion instruments with clarity and precision. These microphones are built to handle high sound pressure levels, as drums can produce loud and dynamic sounds. Drum microphones often have a rugged construction to withstand the physical impact of live performances or intense recording sessions. They typically come in dynamic or condenser types, with dynamic microphones being commonly used for miking kick drums and toms due to their durability, while condenser microphones are often used for overhead miking to capture the cymbals and the overall drum kit sound. Drum microphone kits often include a combination of mics tailored to different drum components for a well-rounded sound capture.

Live Microphones

A live microphone is a microphone designed for use in real-time sound amplification during events like concerts, public speaking, or theatre performances. These microphones are built for durability to withstand the physical demands of live events, often featuring cardioid or supercardioid patterns to reject unwanted noise from the sides or rear. They are typically used to capture clear and focused sound, ensuring high-quality audio for both the performer and the audience, and are chosen based on their ability to handle varying sound levels and environmental conditions.

Mic

A mic is a common abbreviation for microphone, a device that converts sound waves into electrical signals for recording or amplification. Mics come in various types and designs—such as dynamic, condenser, ribbon, and lavalier—each suited to different applications, from live performances and studio recording to broadcasting and filmmaking. Choosing the right mic is essential for capturing clear, high-quality sound tailored to the specific environment and source.
