For years, Audix has led the charge in application-specific drum microphones. The DP Quad kit includes all you need (save cables and stands) to mic up a bop or rock kit, with voice-tailored kick, snare, and overhead microphones that meld studio quality with road-tested durability. From modern rock backbeats to smoky jazz swing, the DP Quad's low noise and sophisticated pickup will cover all your bases. This kit includes three of Audix's low–profile DCLIP mic clips for seamless stand integration and one of DVICE rim mount to minimize your footprint. You also get two foam windscreens for fighting plosives outdoors and an aluminum road case for taking your show on the road. Whether you're an engineer, producer, or drummer looking for a high-value microphone pack to reproduce stage and studio drums, Sweetwater stands behind the Audix DP Quad. Best of all, this core kit is one you're not likely to outgrow anytime soon — just add tom mics and room mics as your needs grow, and the DP Quad will be in your rotation for years to come.

D6 for kick drum

The D6 has a frequency response of 30Hz–15kHz and is characterized with a cardioid pick-up pattern. The D6 is designed to sound good in any position and it is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D series percussion and instrument microphones very popular for today's live stages and recording studios.

i5 for snare

The i5's cardioid polar pattern allows it to focus on the specific instrument that is being miked while rejecting other instruments or ambient noise on stage. With a smooth and uniform frequency response of 50Hz–16kHz and an ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140dB, the i5 can be used for a wide variety of applications and for all genres of music.

ADX51s for overheads

The ADX51 is a pre-polarized condenser microphone designed to handle a wide variety of live, studio and broadcast applications. Characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern and a smooth uniform response over a frequency range of 40Hz–20kHz, the ADX51 is precision machined from solid brass with a low reflective black e-coat finish.
