PROFESSIONAL DRUM AND
FP5
FP5
OVERVIEW
Audix revolutionized drum and percussion miking by designing instrument
specific microphones. With the introduction of the Fusion Series, Audix created two
attractively priced packages for todays up and coming professionals.
The FP5 Drum Pack contains a combination of f2, f5 and f6 dynamic microphones.
The f5 is tuned for snare drum and can be used as well for bongos, timbales, guitar
cabinets and acoustic instruments; the f2 is ideally suited for rack and floor toms,
congas, djembe, bongos, timbales, brass and woodwind instruments. The f6, with its
extended bass response, is designed for kick drum, bass cabinets, cajon and other low
frequency instruments.
Built to withstand the rigors of live stage applications, the Fusion Series mics are
also excellent for rehearsal, school, House of Worship and a wide variety of home
recording applications.

USER TIPS
The f2 and f6 microphones are supplied with the DCLIP, a heavy
duty nylon stand adapter with snap-to-fit design; the f5 is supplied
with the MC1 mic clip. Each clip comes with a 3/8” thread adapter
which is mainly used with European mic stands.
The following are some ideas as to how the microphones in the
packs interact with each other.
Kick drum: The f6 is the kick drum mic. A great accessory to help
position the f6 is the STANDKD, which is specifically designed for
that application. To position the f6, a good starting point is to place
the mic inside the front hole of the kick drum, pointing toward the
beater. (Tip: be sure that the grill is completely inside the hole). For
more attack, move the mic closer toward the head, making sure not
to position the mic right in front of the beater.
f6
Snare and toms: The f2 (snare) and f5 (toms) are designed to be close miked. A
good starting point is two inches above the rim with the mic pointing toward 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 further away from the head. The
trick is to find the right balance between resonance while controlling bleed from
the other drums.
