Audix USA has launched the FP QUAD drum mic pack, a cost effective alternative to the DP QUAD drum mic pack introduced in 2011.
The FP QUAD pack includes F6 dynamic microphone for kick drum, the F5 dynamic microphone for snare drum and two F9 condensers microphones for overhead applications.
The F5 and F6 are high-SPL dynamic microphones, well suited for close mic’ing and vital for capturing the attack and percussive sound of the drums. The F5 mic reinforces the depth and snap of the snare while the F6 mic delivers earthshaking lows through each strike of the kick drum..
The F9 is a pre-polarized, condenser mic with 14mm gold sputtered diaphragm, a very good choice for overhead applications. Depending upon the position, the F9 mic will pick up the hi-hat, tom fills, cymbals and ambiance of the entire drum kit.
The FP QUAD drum pack includes a stand adapter for each mic as well as a DFLEX rim mount clip for use with the f5 on the snare drum. It is packaged in a heavy duty, aluminum carrying case, and is available through authorized Audix dealers at a list price of $525.
