collapse expand iconDescription

The Audix FP5 Drum Mic Pack contains 5 Fusion dynamic microphones: the f6 for kick drum, the f5 for snare, and three f2s for rack and floor toms. Each Audix drum mic is provided with the snap-to-fit DCLIP mic stand adapter, and the entire system is packaged in a heavy-duty custom aluminum carrying case.

f2 Drum Mics
Designed, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA, the f2 is a dynamic instrument microphone used for stage and studio applications. The f2 is characterized with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control and is equipped with a LM (Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction.

The f2 is lightweight, compact, and easy to position. With a wide frequency response of 52Hz-15kHz and the ability to handle sound pressure levels of 139dB, the f2 mic is an excellent choice for miking instruments with a percussive nature such as rack toms, congas, and even saxophone, guitar cabinets, and brass.

f5 Drum Mic
Designed, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA, the f5 is an all-purpose dynamic instrument microphone used for stage and studio applications. The f5 is able to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 137dB without distortion and can be used to mic a wide variety of musical instruments, especially the snare, but can also be effective on guitar and bass cabinets, vocals, and speech.

The f5 is characterized with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control and is equipped with a LM (Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction.

The f5 is sturdy, compact, and easy to position. With a wide frequency response of 55Hz-15kHz, the f5 provides clear, accurate, natural sound reproduction without having to rely on EQ.

f6 Drum Mic
Designed, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the f6 mic is a dynamic instrument microphone used for stage and studio applications. The f6, which is characterized with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control, is equipped with an LM Type A (Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction.

The f6 is lightweight, compact, and easy to position. With a wide frequency response of 40Hz-16kHz and the ability to handle sound pressure levels of 140dB, the f6 is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring extended low frequency reproduction such as kick drum, large toms, and even bass cabinets.

All 3 mic styles
All drum mics in this Audix microphone pack feature roadworthy construction including a precision cast zinc alloy body, black-coat finish, laser-etched model and serial number, steel mesh grill, gold XLR connector, and a tension-fit, heavy-duty nylon mic clip.

Their transformerless designs, low impedance, and balanced outputs allow for interference-free performance even with long cable runs.

      I recently needed to get a drum mic bundle and I really didn't want to spend a ton of money. I'm not doing any touring, just playing local bars and events 2-4x a month. Do I know there are better mics out there - yeah, but I did my homework and this bundle really shines and beats other mid-range mics. The Audix F series is modeled after the highly rated D series and come already pre-EQ'd for their application; making it really easy to get the sound you want without much fuss on the mixing board. You get 5 mics in this pack for your basic 5 piece kit (1 kick, 1 snare, 3 tom). All have their own mic clip and it comes in a pretty nice padded case to tote everything around in - with room for other stuff such as Audix dVice clips (which I also highly recommend) and cables. The mics themselves are hefty and feel solid and rugged - I'm sure they won't mind if you end up whacking them every once in a while. They're also compact making them easy to position and keep out of your way. As I mentioned the dVice mic mounts really help. This mic bundle will be perfect for an average joe gigging musician looking for great, solid sound and won't break the bank and could be paid off within 3-5 gigs.
