Audix DP5A 5-Piece Drum Microphone Package with Aluminium Case

The Audix DP5A is a comprehensive five-piece drum microphone package designed for close-miking acoustic drum kits in both studio and live performance settings. This complete set provides dedicated microphones for each key component of a standard five-piece kit, offering a professional solution for capturing the full dynamic range and tonal characteristics of drums with clarity and precision. Each microphone in the set incorporates Audix's proprietary VLM (Very Low Mass) technology, which is engineered to deliver superior transient response and reduced distortion even at high sound pressure levels. The package includes a D6 dynamic microphone specifically voiced for kick drums, providing powerful low-end punch; an i5 dynamic microphone for snare drums, offering crisp attack and definition; two D2 dynamic microphones for rack toms; and a D4 dynamic microphone for floor toms. All microphones feature a cardioid polar pattern for effective off-axis rejection, minimising bleed from other instruments. Each comes with appropriate mounting hardware: the D6 includes a heavy-duty DCLIP, while the other microphones are supplied with DVICE rim mount clips for secure and quick attachment to drum rims. The entire set is housed in a robust, foam-lined aluminium carrying case, ensuring maximum protection during transport and convenient, organised storage. This makes the DP5A an excellent choice for touring musicians, session drummers, and home studio owners who require reliable, road-worthy equipment. The microphones' durable construction and consistent sonic performance make them suitable for a wide range of musical genres and recording environments, from intimate studio sessions to loud stage performances. The package eliminates the need to source individual microphones separately, providing a matched set that is optimised for cohesive drum sound capture.
