Professional Drum and
DP4
LIVE SOUND OR RECORDING
The DP4 is a perfect complement of four essential microphones for rhythm sections,
sound engineers, and beyond. The pack consists of Audix’s two best-selling instrument
mics: the iconic Audix D6 and three i5 dynamics in a heavy-duty carrying case. Equally
useful for studio and live sound, these mics are known for their clarity, sound isolation,
high SPL handling and durability. Rim mount clips are included.

CLOSE MIKING
The D6 for kick drum and the i5 for snare and toms are considered must haves for
every drummer. The kick and snare are considered the core of any drum kit and
the foundation for every groove. If either the kick or the snare is unable to be heard,
there is simply no groove and close miking insures that they will be captured in the
mix. Being high SPL dynamic microphones, the D6 and i5 excel at “close miking”. This
miking technique captures 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. On toms the i5 provide a clear accurate signal and the cardiod
pattern allows you to use one mic between two rack toms if inputs are at a premium.

D6 - Kick Drum: To position the D6, a good starting point is a few inches
inside the port of the front head with the mic pointing off-center and not
directly at the beater. For more attack, move the mic closer towards the
beater. For more bass, pull the mic farther away from the beater.
D6 - Bass Cabs:
For bass cabinets, position the mic 90 degrees to the grill
cloth and 1-2 inches inside the edge of the speaker.
i5 - Snare and Toms: A good starting point is 2 inches above the rim with
the mic pointing towards the center of the head. For more “rim” sound, pull
the mic back closer to the rim. For more resonance and depth of field, pull the
mic farther away from the head. The trick is to find the right balance between
resonance and attack while still controlling bleed from the other drums.
i5 - Guitar Cabs: The i5 can be placed within 1-2 inches of the grill cover
at a 90 degree angle pointing directly towards the speaker. As the mic is
placed closer to the edge of the speaker, you will minimize the higher
frequencies and get a warmer, fatter tone. To capture more highs, move
the mic closer towards the center of the speaker.
