OUTSTANDING CHANGES AUDIX HAS MADE TO THIS MIC KIT
Audix DP7 Drum Microphone Pack
Reviewed by Bruce Barclay on Guitar Center
I picked up 2 Eleate 8 Audix drum mic kits about 6 years ago. Back then the sale price for that mic kit was 2 grand a piece. The diffrence between the Eleate 8 and this mic kit is the overheads. The Eleate 8 had 3 SCX-1 mics per kit. The SCX mics were outstanding sounding but I found them to be way too sensitive. I could hear my neighbors talking in thier front yard across the street with the SCX 1. I used them once during a live band setting on a crowded stage and the soundman gave up trying to use them because too much bass and guitar was getting into the SCX 1. Even set up in my rehersal space the SCX 1 picked up way too much tom tom and kick drum...even they were physically located closer to my cymbals. No matter what I tried to do with positioning I ran in to that same problem. Higher cielings is what I believe the SCX-1 needs and to be used for recording...or a Zepplin style set up...2 overheads...Kick and snare...also a plexiglass shield in front if used in a live setting. I did order a pair of ADX 51's and that was exactally what my rehersal space needed. The 10-db cut switch and low frequency roll off helped to block kick and toms out of the overheads...although it is difficult to completly block the kick and snare out of the overheads...engaging both switches allowed the overheads to hear the cymbals more prodominatly over the rest of the kit. All the other mics are all outstanding. You will find that your soundman will love using these mics...because they will hardly need to mess with any EQ. I found it a lot of fun to move the kick mic around...trying diffrent positions with it...the D-6 is simply the best kick mic I have ever heard. The I-5 is also the best snare mic I have ever heard. The price of this mic kit...is also very reasionable. These mics are excellent for recording studio, rehersals and live gigs. It is the only mic kit drummers will ever need. Also I'd like to point out the Audix's warrenty and repair service is second to NONE. I had trouble with my SCX 1 mics...and they needed to be sent back to Audix 4 times before they finally got those mics RIGHT. They had some design flaws however Audix stood by thier product...and made design upgrades to my 6 mics...for FREE. Now my SCX-1's are very relieable and work as advertised. ... More

I've been miking drums at home for a while. I've learned a few skills. By no means professional, but practice always makes you improve. I bought this set because I was using sm 57's on the toms and a beta 52 for the kick. I got ok results, but I wanted to try something new. I heard a set of these at an outdoor concert at a church event at the pavilion in Penn Valley CA. that d6 made the kick come alive on a mediocre drum set. so I took a chance and just bought the whole kit. It made more economic sense than just a d6. I miked up the drums as described by the video that came with the drums. Wow! I am now an official Audix fan! They brought a LOT of clarity in my recording. I have only used a few cheap mics and 57's, so I am no expert for sure. But I definitely am digging these. I did keep some of the 57's for under the snare and stuff. I kept the 52 so now I mic the kick with 2 mic's. It gives the kick a full/punchy sound. I use the 52 inside pointed to the shell and the d6 at the beaters. I kept some other stuff too and miked it to the hilt and ran everything through a mixer. Then left and right out of the mixer into the interface. A lot of adjusting faders, but It sounds amazing compared to just a few 57's and a 52. At least to my ears. ... More

Excellent microphones for the money! I have used them in studio and live situations and have had great results. Most impressive aspect in my opinion is that they are pretty much ready to go out of the box. Setup and adjust levels with no feedback issues. Very much worth the investment if you want to mike up you kit. D-6 is great for kick and the overheads really pickup cymbals as well as toms quite nicely. Again, very good mic pack for the money!
So far, incredible

I've only had this kit for about 2 weeks but so far I am in love. They're my first set of drum mics and I did a good amount of research. Without processing they sound amazing. Especially the tom mics. The overheads are pretty hot but positioning them has made a big difference. So far I'm very very pleased. The clamps are, as others said, a little finicky and sometimes difficult to position. I have an 8 DW tom and because of the DW mount, I can't place the clamp where I want it to be so instead I use a mic stand. ... More
Best affortable professional drum mics ever!

I've never had or heard drum mics that are so good as Audix DP7. D6 is THE best kick drum mic, hands down. D4 surprisingly awesome for the floor drum. i5 exceeds my expectations, already considering to buy more for the bottem snare and guitar amp mics. ADX51 is also good for different use: OH, choir & interviews... Audix DP7 does not disappoint on many levels.

We bought this set of mics to replace an eclectic set of mics that included some SM57s, the se604 tom mics along with a Shure Beta mic on the kick. We are very pleased with the results. Very dynamic pickup and great frequency response on these mics.

Still happy after 2 years of using these microphones. Audix did an excellent job tuning these for Drums such that they work right out of the box even if you are working with an Audio Engineer unfamilar with drum audio. This bundle is the best way to go, because I had to purchase a single D4 for my 2nd Floor Tom and it was pretty expensive even used.

We started out with the Shure drum mic kit and it did fairly well but the Audix DP7 takes it to the next level! If you can afford them they are worth the money.
