Microphones Designed for Each Kit Element
Kick Drum Impact and Foundation
The D6 is crafted to deliver the attack and depth characteristic of a modern kick drum, with solid low-end reproduction and clear kick articulation.
Snare Articulation
The i5 captures the hit, body, and snap of the snare drum, providing a present sound in the mix without harshness.
Expressive Toms, Powerful Floor Tom
The D2 highlights the musicality of the toms, while the D4 adds weight and definition to the floor tom, maintaining kit balance.
Stereo Image and Cymbal Detail
The pair of ADX51, small-diaphragm condenser microphones, ensure precise and detailed overheads, ideal for both stage and recording. Phantom power is required for these two microphones.
