Audix DP7X Drum Microphone Kit

Building upon the legacy of the venerable D6, the D6X from Audix is a dynamic cardioid instrument microphone ideal for stage and studio applications. Featuring the VLM capsule for deep lows and precise transient capture, the D6X is an optimal choice for kick drums, toms, amp cabinets, and other low-frequency instruments.

The D6X features a recessed switch that lets you select between three different filters for different voicings: Deep—retains the classic D6 performance; Balanced—offers more midrange response; and Natural—provides a more linear character with even more midrange, ideal for percussion, amp cabs, and many other instruments. The body is constructed from machined aluminum, with a steel mesh grille, black anodized body, and a transformerless design that retains signal strength, even with long cable runs. The D6X includes a mic clip and a carrying pouch.

The Audix D2 is well suited for use in stage, studio, and broadcast applications, and features the frequency and sensitivity response required for accurately reproducing signals from drums and percussion instruments. The mic has a dynamic element capable of reproducing signals with high transient peaks, while maintaining a clear, punchy, and warm sound.

The D2 offers a frequency response of 68 Hz to 18 kHz which features a slight bump in the mid-bass frequencies. The contoured mid-bass response accentuates the tonal frequencies associated with instruments that have a percussive nature, such as rack toms, congas, floor toms, saxophone, brass, horns, as well as guitar and bass cabinets. The hypercardioid polar pattern provides a tight pickup area at the front of the capsule for isolation and feedback control, and it is equipped with a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction. Ambiance and noise at the off-axis sections of the microphone are greatly reduced, resulting in high signal-to-noise ratio.

The D2 can accurately handle signals with sound pressure levels registering at 144 dB. Transient peaks are reproduced without distortion due to overload

The Audix D4 drum microphone offers both the frequency and sensitivity response useful for accurately recording drums and percussion instruments. The D4 features a dynamic element capable of reproducing signals with high transients peaks without producing the noise associated with distortion and overloading the capsule.

Its 40 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response allows you to capture large instruments low fundamentals—instruments such as kick drums, djembes, kettle drums, floor toms, and more. Its hypercardioid polar pattern provides a tight pickup area at the front of the capsule, making sure that ambiance and noise present at the off-axis sections of the microphone are greatly reduced.
