The Audix Kick and Toms Miking Kit from B&H comes with everything you need to start recording your rack and floor toms, and kick drum, all at once. The kit comes with two Audix D2 Dynamic Instrument Microphones, one Audix D4 Hyper-Cardioid Dynamic Mic, and three Audix Drum Microphone Clamps.
The Audix D2 is well suited for use in stage, studio, and broadcast applications, and features the frequency and sensitivity response required for accurately reproducing signals from drums and percussion instruments. The mic has a dynamic element capable of reproducing signals with high transient peaks, while maintaining a clear, punchy, and warm sound.
The D2 offers a frequency response of 68 Hz to 18 kHz which features a slight bump in the mid-bass frequencies. The contoured mid-bass response accentuates the tonal frequencies associated with instruments that have a percussive nature, such as rack toms, congas, floor toms, saxophone, brass, horns, as well as guitar and bass cabinets. The hypercardioid polar pattern provides a tight pickup area at the front of the capsule for isolation and feedback control, and it is equipped with a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction. Ambiance and noise at the off-axis sections of the microphone are greatly reduced, resulting in high signal-to-noise ratio.
The Audix D4 drum microphone offers both the frequency and sensitivity response useful for accurately recording drums and percussion instruments. The D4 features a dynamic element capable of reproducing signals with high transients peaks without producing the noise associated with distortion and overloading the capsule.
Its 40 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response allows you to capture large instruments low fundamentals—instruments such as kick drums, djembes, kettle drums, floor toms, and more. Its hypercardioid polar pattern provides a tight pickup area at the front of the capsule, making sure that ambiance and noise present at the off-axis sections of the microphone are greatly reduced.
The Audix DVICE Spring-Loaded Rim-Mount Clamp is a sturdy percussion clamp that offers you the ability to rim mount your D Series microphones on a drum. It eliminates the need for bulky microphone stands. This unit's gooseneck design and spring-loaded clamp make it practical and easy to use.
