Audix DP5A Description

The Audix DP5A microphone package is engineered for drummers, sound engineers, and studio professionals who demand premium sound quality and road-ready durability. Designed to complement a standard 5-piece drum kit, the set includes one D6 for kick drum, one i5 for snare, two D2 microphones for rack toms, and one D4 for floor tom. These microphones are fine-tuned for each application, ensuring optimal sound capture across the drum set.

The heart of this kit is the D6, a cardioid dynamic microphone crafted for low-end punch and clarity in kick drums and bass-heavy instruments. The i5 provides sharp, articulate response for snare drums, while the D2 mics bring out the depth and warmth of rack toms without muddiness. For the floor tom, the D4 delivers tight low-end response with a flat, linear output ideal for larger drums or low-frequency sources.

Each mic in the DP5A pack features Audix's proprietary VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for superior transient response and high SPL handling. The included D-Vice gooseneck mounts make it easy to attach and position the mics directly to the drums, while the rugged aluminum road case offers convenient and secure transport.

Whether you're tracking in the studio or performing on stage, the DP5A delivers professional-grade performance and unmatched reliability, making it a top-tier solution for miking your drum kit.
