LIVE SOUND OR RECORDING Perfect for stage or studio, this combination of dynamic mics featuring exclusive Audix VLMTM capsule technology and the MicroD condenser mics offer accurate sound reproduction in very high SPL applications. Mic clips, mounts, and rugged aluminum carrying case are included. · Professional set of 5 drum mics for stage or studio · Mics work in tandem to replicate each drum accurately and independently · Easy to set up and position CLOSE MIKING The D6 for kick drum and the i5 for snare 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. Close miking ensures that they will be captured in the mix. If either the kick or the snare is unable to be heard, there is simply no groove. The MicroD, known for its clarity, excellent transient response, resistance to feedback, SPL (Sound Pressure Level) handling is perfectly tailored for toms and floor toms. These premium microphones, in conjunction with a close miking technique, are guaranteed to capture the attack and percussion sound of each drum. Also, by having the mic close to the source of the sound, it helps to isolate and control the sound of each drum. The DP5MICRO allows for total control of your drum sound on stage or in the studio. USER TIPS 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. The STANDKD is a great accessory to help achieve the perfect position for the D6. i5 - Snare: A good starting point is two 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 further away from the head. The trick is to find the right balance between resonance and attack while still controlling bleed from the other drums. MicroD – Toms: The provided DVICE clip is spring loaded to clip on the rim of a drum. The inside slider portion of the clip should be attached to the bottom part of the rim first and the clip lifted up and over the top rim for a tight tension fit. You can adjust the position of the gooseneck by means of the lower thumb screw on the DVICE. The mic itself is generally positioned 2-3 inches off the drumhead and slightly inside the rim pointing towards the head.
