The f5 is tuned for snare drums and can also be used for bongos, timbales, guitar cabinets, and acoustic instruments. F2 is ideal for rack toms, floor toms, congas, djembe, bongos, timbales, brass and woodwind instruments. With extended bass response, the f6 dynamic microphone is designed for kick drums, bass speakers, cajons, and other low-frequency instruments. Fusion series microphones are designed for demanding live stage use and are also ideal for rehearsals, schools, houses of worship, and a 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. Snare and toms: As a general rule, the f5 and f2 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 and controlling bleed from the other drums. 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.
