A "ready-to-mix" pack designed for modern drum recording
The DP5A is designed to meet a simple and very practical need: to achieve a coherent and effective drum recording on a complete kit without multiplying choices or incompatible sound results. By bringing together five dynamic microphones dedicated to the key elements of a kit (kick drum, snare, toms), Audix offers here a homogeneous solution, tailored for demanding contexts where impact, definition, and good tolerance to high levels are sought. The set naturally fits into a stage configuration (quick setup, frequent transport) while remaining perfectly relevant in a studio environment, especially to capture the energy of powerful playing.
Who is this drum microphone pack for?
This pack is aimed at drummers, sound engineers, home studio users, and backliners who want a reliable and immediately operational drum mic set to amplify a rock, pop, metal, or fusion kit. On stage, it allows for a drum sound that is present in the mix, with a solid kick drum, a snare that cuts through, and well-focused toms. In the studio, it provides a very effective base to build a clear and punchy drum sound, with dynamic microphones capable of handling close miking and heavy hits.
