DP-QUAD

When it comes to drum and percussion microphones, Audix is the industry leader. These high precision instrument microphones are designed to ll

the specic needs of artists and engineers for both studio and live applications.

The Audix DP Series QUAD pack is the simplest and most eective combination of microphones that will allow you to capture the depth and

imaging of a full drum kit. With kick, snare and two overheads, the QUAD incorporates the best of two miking techniques: close miking and

overhead (ambient) miking.

Close Miking: The D6 for kick drum and the i5 for snare are considered the two microphones every drummer must have. The kick and snare are

considered the core of any drum kit and the foundation for every groove. Close miking insures 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. Being high SPL dynamic microphones, the D6 and i5 excel at “close miking”. This

miking technique is required in order to capture the attack and percussive sound of the drum. Also, by having the mic close to the source of the

sound, it helps to isolate the sound of each drum and separate it from the rest of the kit.

Overhead (ambient) miking: Supporting the idea that “less is more”, there are many engineers who will use just two overhead mics to capture the

natural sound of the complete drum kit. With two overhead mics, positioned correctly, it is absolutely true that you can capture the transients, tonality

and balance of the kit in a completely phase-coherent manner. The ADX51, which is a pre-polarized condenser microphone with a 14mm gold

sputtered diaphragm, is designed specically with overhead applications in mind. Due to its cardioid pickup pattern, high sensitivity and slim pencil

design, the two ADX51 mics can be easily positioned overhead to provide a nice stereo image of the entire drum kit.

The Blend: With contemporary music and with the volumes typically generated on stage, it is more practical and eective to create a blended eect

of close miking and overhead miking – the exact intent of the DP-QUAD. The D6 will help provide the earthshaking lows and the attack of the kick;

the i5 will reinforce the depth and crack of the snare; the overheads will pick up the high-hat, tom lls, cymbals and the ambiance of the entire kit.
