AudixDP7X Drum Microphone Package

A drum kit can move from thunderous impact to intricate detail in a single measure, and capturing that range demands microphones that respond just as quickly. The Audix DP7X drum microphone package brings together seven purpose-built microphones, flexible mounting hardware and a protective transport case in one complete system for stage and studio use. Anchored by the new D6X kick drum microphone with three selectable voicings, the package gives engineers greater control over low-frequency character while preserving the proven clarity and isolation of Audix's D-Series microphones. From tight club stages to full production rooms, the DP7X delivers the tonal flexibility, fast setup and dependable performance needed to capture an entire kit with confidence. Three D6X Voicings Shape the Kick Drum The D6X expands the classic D6 platform with three selectable sound profiles that adapt to different drums, genres and production styles. Deep mode preserves the familiar D6 character with powerful low-end weight and a pronounced attack that helps kick drums cut through dense mixes, while Balanced mode adds more midrange presence for a broader, more traditional response. Natural mode provides a more linear response suited for percussion, guitar cabinets and other sources requiring accurate low-frequency capture. A recessed switch helps protect the selected profile from accidental changes during setup or performance. Purpose-Built Microphones Cover the Entire Kit Two D2 dynamic microphones provide focused, articulate pickup for rack toms, while the D4 extends deeper for floor toms and other low-frequency percussion. The included i5 handles snare drum with a natural, punchy response and enough headroom to capture hard rimshots without distortion. Dual ADX51 condenser microphones supply the clarity and transient detail needed for overheads, cymbals or hi-hat, with onboard pad and bass roll-off controls for added flexibility. Together, the seven-microphone collection creates a balanced system that captures the weight, attack and spatial character of a complete drum kit. VLM Technology Preserves Attack and Musical Detail Audix Very Low Mass diaphragm technology gives the dynamic microphones fast transient response and natural sound reproduction across demanding drum applications. The D2 and D4 use hypercardioid pickup patterns to isolate individual drums and reduce spill, while the D6X and i5 employ cardioid patterns for controlled coverage and reliable feedback rejection. High sound pressure handling allows the microphones to remain composed on loud sources, helping engineers achieve defined, mix-ready drum sounds with less corrective EQ. Low-Profile Mounting Keeps the Setup Clean Four included D-Vice rim mounts attach directly to compatible drum hoops, eliminating bulky stands around the snare and toms while keeping microphones securely positioned. Their flexible mini-gooseneck design allows quick placement changes to refine attack, body and cymbal rejection without interrupting the session. Three heavy-duty microphone clips support the remaining microphones on standard stands, giving engineers the hardware needed for overhead, kick and alternate placement duties. The complete mounting package speeds up load-in and leaves more room for performers, cables and other stage equipment. Protective Case Supports Touring and Studio Work Every microphone and accessory stores in a dedicated slot inside the included foam-lined protective case, helping safeguard the system during transport, storage and repeated use. Its organized layout also makes inventory checks faster, so engineers can confirm every microphone, clip and mount is ready before the next session. With its expanded kick drum control, complete kit coverage and streamlined mounting system, the Audix DP7X drum microphone package provides a professional solution for capturing drums onstage and in the studio.
