Audix DP7 Professional 7-Piece Drum Microphone Package with Aluminum Road Case

The Audix DP7 Professional Drum Microphone Package brings together seven carefully selected microphones for capturing a complete five-piece drum kit in live sound and studio recording applications. Combining five Audix dynamic microphones with two ADX51 condenser microphones, the DP7 provides dedicated coverage for kick drum, snare, rack toms, floor tom, and stereo overheads.

The package includes Audix's powerful D6 kick drum microphone, an i5 for snare, two D2 microphones for rack toms, and a D4 for floor tom. A matched application pair of ADX51 cardioid condenser microphones captures cymbals, hi-hat, and the overall stereo image of the drum kit.

Audix's VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm technology helps the dynamic microphones reproduce drum attack and tonal detail while handling the high sound pressure levels produced by close-miked percussion. The ADX51 overhead microphones add clarity, detail, and natural spatial imaging to the complete drum sound.

With four DVICE rim mounts, microphone clips, windscreens, and a protective foam-lined aluminum road case, the DP7 provides a practical, professional drum microphone solution for touring musicians, sound engineers, recording studios, schools, and houses of worship.

Features and Benefits

Seven Microphones for Complete Drum Kit Coverage

The DP7 is configured for a standard five-piece drum kit, providing dedicated microphones for the kick, snare, two rack toms, floor tom, and stereo overheads.

This combination allows sound engineers to balance each drum individually while capturing the cymbals and overall kit sound through the condenser overhead microphones.

Audix D6 Kick Drum Microphone

The included D6 dynamic microphone delivers powerful low-frequency impact and defined attack.

Its tailored 30Hz–15kHz response and cardioid polar pattern make it ideal for close-miking kick drums in live performance and recording environments.

Audix i5 Snare Drum Microphone

The i5 captures the attack, body, and crisp character of the snare drum.

Its cardioid pickup pattern helps reduce unwanted sound from nearby toms and cymbals, providing a focused signal for mixing.

Two Audix D2 Rack Tom Microphones

The two D2 hypercardioid dynamic microphones provide punchy mid-bass response and excellent instrument isolation.

Their compact design makes them easy to position around drum hardware, while their focused pickup pattern helps reduce bleed from adjacent drums.

Audix D4 Floor Tom Microphone

The D4 hypercardioid dynamic microphone captures the deeper resonance and attack of floor toms.

Its extended low-frequency response and tight pickup pattern make it well suited for larger drums that require both body and definition.

Two ADX51 Condenser Microphones for Stereo Overheads

The DP7 includes two Audix ADX51 cardioid condenser microphones designed to capture cymbal detail, transient response, and the natural sound of the complete drum kit.

Using a stereo overhead arrangement helps create a balanced image of the kit while preserving the character of the cymbals and percussion.

Each ADX51 also includes selectable attenuation and low-frequency roll-off controls for flexible microphone placement and recording applications.

VLM Technology for Accurate Drum Transients

Audix's Very Low Mass diaphragm technology provides fast transient response in the dynamic drum microphones.

This helps capture the initial impact of drumsticks along with the natural tonal characteristics of the drums.

DVICE Rim Mounts Simplify Microphone Placement

Four included Audix DVICE rim mounts allow the snare and tom microphones to be attached directly to compatible drum rims.

These adjustable mounts help reduce the number of floor stands needed around the drum kit and make positioning easier in crowded stage environments.

Foam-Lined Aluminum Road Case

The DP7 includes a protective aluminum carrying case with a foam-lined interior for organizing and transporting the microphones and accessories.

The case helps protect the equipment between performances, recording sessions, and rehearsals.
