THE MICS:
D6 for kick drum
The D6 has a frequency response of 30Hz-15kHz and is characterized with a cardioid pick-up pattern. The D6 is designed for easy positioning and and is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D Series microphones extremely popular for today's live stages and recording studios.
i5 for snare
The i5's cardioid polar pattern allows it to focus on the specific instrument that is being miked while rejecting other instruments or ambient noise on stage. With a smooth and uniform frequency response of 50 Hz-16 kHz and an ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB, the i5 can be used for a wide variety of applications and for all genres of music.
D2s for rack toms
For bringing out the natural, dynamic sound of toms or congas, nothing compares to the D2! The D2 accurately reproduces the warmth and punch required for a successful percussion sound, avoiding the typical muddy "boom" that can mar a good stage mix or a recording. The D2's natural warmth makes it a great choice for many instruments including saxophone, brass and woodwinds.
D4 for floor tom
The D4, with an exceptional frequency response of 40 Hz - 18 kHz, will successfully capture the true sound of instruments that require bass reproduction. When it comes to the attack, harmonics, and decay of the large toms, the D4 is a perfect choice. Lightweight and easy to position, the D4 is also an excellent choice for cajon, djembe, tympani, leslie bottom, bass flute, saxophone, bass cabinets and small kick drums.
ADX51 (two) - Overheads
The ADX51 is a pre-polarized condenser microphone designed to handle nuances of recording as well as the rigors of live sound. Characterized with extended highs, excellent imaging, and high SPL capabilities, the ADX51 can be used for cymbals, high-hat, and acoustic instruments. The ADX51 also features a -10dB pad and bass roll-off filter, making it extremely useful for a wide variety of applications.
