This drum microphone kit delivers professional sound capture for kick, snare, toms, and cymbals in one complete package. Moreover, the Audix PD7 system includes specialized microphones engineered specifically for drum applications. Therefore, you’ll achieve clear, punchy drum tones whether performing live or recording in the studio. Consequently, many drummers report finally capturing the natural attack and resonance they’ve been missing with generic microphones.

Complete Drum Microphone Kit for Every Piece

The PD7 package provides dedicated microphones for each drum component in your kit. Furthermore, the included kick drum microphone captures deep, powerful low frequencies without muddiness. Additionally, the snare and tom mics handle high SPLs while preserving natural tone. Subsequently, overhead condensers deliver crisp cymbal detail and ambient room sound. Meanwhile, each microphone comes with its own mounting hardware for quick setup.

Professional Sound That Drummers Actually Notice

Players consistently mention hearing their drums translate accurately through this drum mic set for the first time. Specifically, the kick drum finally punches through the mix with clarity and definition. Similarly, snare crack comes through with the snap and body that gets lost with cheaper microphones. In addition, toms maintain their pitch and resonance across all tunings. As a result, your natural playing dynamics shine through without artificial coloration.

Built to Survive the Rigors of Gigging

Audix constructs these microphones with all-metal bodies that withstand years of touring and transport. Besides durability, the rugged design prevents handling noise during position adjustments mid-performance. Likewise, each microphone maintains consistent performance even after countless load-ins and teardowns. Therefore, this percussion microphone package represents a long-term investment rather than gear you’ll replace annually.

FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need phantom power for all the mics in the DP7?

No. Only the two D4 overhead condenser mics require 48V phantom power. The D6, i5, and three D2 dynamic mics work without phantom power—just plug them into any XLR input on your mixer or interface.

Can I use the i5 snare mic on other instruments?

Yes. The i5 is a versatile dynamic mic that works well on guitar cabinets, brass instruments, and percussion. Many engineers keep it as a backup instrument mic because it handles high SPL and has a clear midrange response.

Will this kit work for metal or rock drumming with heavy hitters?

Absolutely. All mics in the DP7 are designed to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. The D6 kick mic and D2 tom mics are particularly popular with metal and hard rock drummers because they capture aggressive playing without breaking up.

How does the D6 compare to other kick drum mics like the AKG D112 or Shure Beta 52A?

The D6 has a tighter low-end focus around 60-80Hz compared to the broader low-end of the D112, and it has more attack clarity than the Beta 52A. Engineers often describe it as sitting between the two—punchy but not boomy, with good beater definition.

Are XLR cables included with the DP7 kit?

No, XLR cables are not included. You’ll need seven XLR cables (standard mic cables) to connect the kit to your mixer or interface. Most users already have cables, but if you’re starting fresh, budget for a set of 15-20 foot cables.

Can I replace or upgrade individual mics in this kit later?

Yes. Each mic in the DP7 is also sold separately, so you can replace a mic if one gets damaged or upgrade specific positions. For example, some engineers upgrade the overhead mics to Audix SCX25A condensers for more extended high-frequency response in studio work.

Is the carrying case durable enough for regular transport?

Yes. The case is a hardshell design with custom foam inserts that keep mics secure. Users report it holds up well to weekly transport in road cases or vehicle trunks. The foam doesn’t compress easily, and the latches stay tight even after years of use.
