Complete Seven Microphone Drum Kit Package for Live and Studio Use
The Audix DP7 is a comprehensive seven-microphone drum kit package designed to capture an entire drum set with clarity, punch, and balance. Built for live sound reinforcement, studio recording, and broadcast applications, this kit provides dedicated microphones for kick, snare, toms, and overheads. With purpose-matched microphones and included mounting hardware, the DP7 delivers a reliable, ready-to-use solution for professional drum miking.
Purpose Matched Microphones for Full Drum Coverage
This package includes one i5 dynamic microphone for snare, two D2 dynamic microphones for rack toms, one D4 dynamic microphone for floor tom, one D6 dynamic microphone for kick drum, and two ADX51 condenser microphones for overheads. Each microphone is selected for its ability to capture the specific tonal characteristics of its assigned drum or cymbal position, resulting in a cohesive and natural drum sound.
Balanced Frequency Response for Punch and Detail
The dynamic microphones in the DP7 are tuned to handle high sound pressure levels while emphasizing impact and clarity across the drum kit. The D6 delivers deep low-end response for kick drum, the i5 captures snare articulation and attack, the D2 microphones accentuate rack tom punch, and the D4 supports extended low-frequency response for floor tom. The ADX51 overhead microphones provide detailed high-frequency response for cymbals and overall kit imaging.
Directional Pickup Patterns for Isolation and Control
Cardioid and hypercardioid pickup patterns across the dynamic microphones help reduce bleed from adjacent drums and stage noise. This isolation improves clarity in live mixes and provides better separation during recording. The overhead condensers complement this control by capturing cymbal detail and ambient balance without overpowering the mix.
High SPL Handling for Loud Drummers and Stages
All microphones in the DP7 kit are designed to withstand high sound pressure levels without distortion. This makes the package suitable for aggressive playing styles, amplified stages, and touring environments. Transient peaks are reproduced accurately, preserving attack and definition even under demanding performance conditions.
Includes D-Vice Rim Mounts and Road Ready Case
Four D-Vice rim-mount clamps are included for snare and tom microphones, allowing direct drum mounting without floor stands. This reduces stage clutter and simplifies setup. All microphones and accessories are housed in a foam-lined aluminum road case, providing protection during transport and organized storage between sessions.
Built for Live Sound, Studio Recording, and Broadcast
The DP7 is designed for versatility across professional audio environments. From touring drum rigs and worship stages to recording studios and broadcast facilities, this drum microphone package provides consistent results and dependable performance with minimal setup time.
