The Audix FP5 5-Piece Fusion Drum Microphone Package provides a complete, cost-effective solution for capturing drums with clarity, punch, and controlled isolation. Designed for live performances, rehearsal spaces, houses of worship, and home recording studios, this professional drum microphone kit includes five dynamic microphones specifically selected for kick drum, snare drum, and tom applications.
The FP5 package combines one Audix f6 kick drum microphone, one f5 snare microphone, and three f2 tom microphones. Each microphone features a focused hypercardioid pickup pattern that helps reduce unwanted sound from nearby drums, cymbals, and instruments, making it easier to achieve a balanced drum mix.
Built around Audix's rugged Fusion Series, the FP5 includes microphone clips, drum rim mounting accessories, and a protective aluminum road case. Whether you're outfitting a drum kit for the stage or building an affordable recording setup, the FP5 delivers dependable performance without requiring the purchase of individual microphones.
Features and Benefits
Five Microphones Designed for Drum Applications
The Audix FP5 includes dedicated microphones for the most important components of a standard drum kit. With individual microphones for kick, snare, and three toms, sound engineers can independently adjust levels, EQ, and dynamics for greater control over the overall drum sound.
Audix f6 Kick Drum Microphone
The included f6 dynamic microphone is engineered for low-frequency instruments, delivering extended bass response suitable for capturing kick drum impact and definition. Its focused pickup pattern helps isolate the kick drum from surrounding stage noise. The f6 is also suitable for bass guitar cabinets and cajon.
Audix f5 Snare Drum Microphone
The f5 provides articulate sound reproduction for snare drums, helping capture both the initial attack and body of the instrument. Its versatile design also makes it useful for guitar cabinets, bongos, timbales, and other percussion instruments.
Three Audix f2 Tom Microphones
The three included f2 microphones are ideal for rack toms and floor toms. Their compact construction makes positioning easier around drum hardware, while the hypercardioid pickup pattern helps minimize unwanted bleed from cymbals and neighboring drums.
Hypercardioid Pickup Patterns for Improved Isolation
All five microphones feature hypercardioid polar patterns that provide focused sound pickup and strong off-axis rejection. This is especially beneficial when microphones are positioned close together around a drum kit.
Dynamic Microphones Built for High Sound Pressure Levels
The FP5 microphones are designed to handle the high sound pressure levels produced by acoustic drums. Their dynamic transducer designs require no phantom power, making them compatible with standard professional microphone preamps and mixing consoles.
Protective Aluminum Carrying Case
The included aluminum road case provides organized storage and protection for the microphones and accessories during transportation between rehearsals, performances, and recording sessions.
