AU D I X Audix Drum And Percussion Microphones – Leading The Pack MicroBoom incorporates the Micros in a way that makes it the ideal solution for choir miking without having to hang mics from the ceiling. And our latest innovation is the VX handheld condenser vocal mic with pad and rolloff. Keep an eye out for that mic; it is bound for stardom! Audix, with the introduction of the D-series dynamics in , created a new category of microphones specific to drums and percussion. Shortly after, Audix expanded this concept to include pre-packaged sets of microphones in various configurations, creating yet another category for ‘drum mic kits’ which is now popularised by many other brands following suit. With the more recent introduction of the D and the i- , Audix configured the DP a, DP , and the DP Elite , all of which feature the best of the best, and provide high performance and excellent value. In fact, the DP was bestowed the prestigious MIPA international award of ‘Best Drum Microphones’ of , an award voted on by magazines representing countries. The DP , as the name implies, consists of seven microphones and is perfect for miking a five piece kit for both live and studio applications. At the heart of the mic system is the popular D dynamic microphone for kick drum, characterised with full, robust sound with clarity and attack. For snare drum, it’s the i- , a perfect complement to the D . The i- not only provides clear and natural sound reproduction, it is extremely durable and capable of withstanding the occasional and unavoidable ‘stick hit’ during the course of a gig. For rack toms, there are two D dynamic microphones. The D is simply described as the ‘king of toms’ with an ability to capture all the subtleties and overtones of – ” toms. For floor tom, there is the D , unrivalled in its ability to recreate the extended response of a low frequency drum with extreme accuracy and detail. For overheads there are two ADX ‘pencil-style’ cardioid condenser microphones with pad and roll-off. The ADX captures the cymbals and ambient sound of the full kit, without picking up too much ‘bleed’ from the other instruments on stage. Additionally there are four D-Vice spring-tensioned rim mounting clips which eliminate the need for mic stands for snare and toms. All mics and accessories are conveniently packaged in a foam lined aluminum case for safe keeping. List price is , . A cost-effective variation of the DP is the DP -A, which includes everything except the ADX overhead condensers. This package of mics is valued at , MSRP.
