PROFESSIONAL VOCAL AND INSTRUMENT MIC PACKAGES
Audix continues to lead the industry in professional instrument microphone assortments, introducing
yet another innovative idea to the market - The Band Pack. The BP5F and BP7F feature combinations
of dynamic microphones designed to work in tandem with instruments and vocals during live
performances.
Every sound check begins with the kick drum, the focal point for the rest of the mix. Consequently,
the f6 is the heart of the Band Pack system. The f5 is excellent for snare, guitar and bass cabinets, as
well as a wide variety of other instruments, making it essential to both collections. The Band Packs are
completed with the f50 microphone, for lead and background vocals.
It is imperative that sound engineers and bands use critical judgment when choosing their performance
microphones. Audix has eliminated any guesswork by creating a consortium of complimenting,
application specic professional microphones – the BP5F and BP7F Band Packs.

MIKING & PLACEMENT
BP5F [1 x f5, 1 x f6, 3 x f50]
f5: The f5 boasts a tight (cardioid) pick-up pattern helping to eliminate sounds on stage from “bleeding” into the microphone. This mic is exceptionally useful with drums
and percussion as it is able to accurately capture the sound of each component of the kit. The f5 is also well-matched for miking guitar cabinets, handling very high
sound pressure levels without distortion.
• Snare: Start with the f5 about 2 inches above the head and aimed toward the center of the drum. For more “rim” effect, the f5 can be aimed less toward the center
and more toward the rim. It is not uncommon for engineers to place the mic nearly right on the drum head to achieve a very tight, cracking sound.
• Toms, congas: Similar to snare. For tighter sound and more attack, place the mic closer to the head. To decrease the decay and overtones, pull the mic further away
from the drum head.
• Guitar cabinets: The f5 can be placed about 1-2 inches from the grill cover at a 90 degree angle pointing directly into the speaker. If the mic is placed closer to the
edge of the speaker higher frequencies will be minimized and a warmer, fatter tone is achieved. To capture more highs, move the mic closer toward the center of the
speaker, avoiding the middle of the speaker.
• Horns: Place the mic within 1-3 inches from the bell, especially when on a stage with drums, bass, guitar, etc. For jazz, classical and music where the stage volume
is lower, the mic can be placed further away for a richer, fuller sound. Allow a distance of 2-3 feet between microphones to avoid phase cancellation.
f6: This drum mic was created to offset instruments with extremely high sound pressure levels by having a low gain stage.
• Kick drums: As a general rule, start with the mic centered inside the middle of the drum and pointed toward the beater. For more attack and less bass boom, move
the mic closer to the beater. For less attack and more bass, move the mic further away from the beater. For kick drums without a port in the front head, place the f6
a few inches from the head for a large dynamic sound.
• Toms: Position the mic 2 inches from the head and point toward the center of the drum.
• Bass cabinets: Position the mic 90 degrees to the grill cloth and 1-2 inches inside the edge of the speaker.
f50: The f50 vocal mic is designed with a cardioid pick-up pattern which reduces sounds from other instruments on stage from “bleeding” into the microphone. It is
important to sing directly into the mic at close proximity (within 2 inches). When using oor monitors, position the microphone parallel to the oor. When using multiple
microphones for live performance, allow a distance of 2-3 feet between mics to avoid phase cancellation.
