LIVE SOUND OR RECORDING
The DP ELITE 8 drum pack is a premium ensemble of microphones designed to mic a
five-piece kit with accuracy and fine control. Kick, snare, rack toms and floor tom mics
feature Audix VLMTM capsule technology for natural and precise sound reproduction in
high SPL applications. A dedicated hi-hat mic and overhead mics capture complex
timbres and wide dynamic ranges. Included are DVICE rim mounts eliminating the need
for bulky mic stands.

CLOSE MIKING
The D6 for kick drum and the i5 for snare are considered must-haves for every
drummer. The kick and snare are considered the core of any drum kit and the
foundation for every groove. Close miking insures that they will be captured in the
mix. Being high SPL dynamic microphones, the D6, i5, D2 and D4 excel at ?close miking?.
This miking technique is required in order to capture the attack and percussive
sound of the drum. By having the mic close to the source of the sound, it helps to
isolate and control the sound of each drum.
OVERHEAD MIKING (ambient)
Supporting the idea that ?less is more?, many engineers will use just two overhead
mics to capture the natural sound of the complete drum kit. With two overhead
mics, positioned correctly, it is absolutely true that you can capture the transients,
tonality and balance of the kit in a completely phase-coherent manner. The SCX1
condenser microphone with a 21mm gold sputtered diaphragm, is designed with
overhead applications in mind. Due to its cardioid pickup pattern, high sensitivity
and pencil design, the two SCX25A ?lollipop? mics can be easily positioned overhead to
provide a nice stereo image of the entire drum kit.
THE BLEND
With contemporary music and with the volumes typically generated on stage, it is
more practical and effective to create a blended effect of close miking and stereo
image of the entire kit from overhead. The D6 will help provide the earthshaking
lows and the attack of the kick; the i5 will reinforce the depth and crack of the snare;
the D2 and D4 capture the attack and decay of rack and floor toms; the SCX1HC is
the quintessential microphone for hi-hat. With the SCX25A for overheads, drums will
maintain their sound integrity and critical presence for both stage and studio regardless
of the size of the room or PA system.
