Audix DP-Quad Drumkit Microphone Set Overview:

The DPQUAD pack consists of four drum microphones grouped together to microphone a full drum kit. This arrangement employs a left overhead microphone to cover hi-hat, cymbals and rack toms, and a right overhead microphone to capture the floor tom and ride cymbal. Individual snare and kick microphones complete the essential punch needed for a good drum mix. All microphones, clips and accessories are packed in a durable aluminum carrying case.

D6 – Kick Drum: To position the D6, a good starting point is a fewinches inside the port of the front head with the mic pointing offcenterand not directly at the beater. For more attack, move the miccloser towards the beater. For more bass, pull the mic farther away
from the beater.

i5 – Snare: A good starting point is 2 inches above the rim with themic pointing towards the center of the head. For more rim sound,pull the mic back closer to the rim. For more resonance and depth offield, pull the mic farther away from the head. The trick is to find theright balance between resonance and attack while still controllingbleed from the other drums.

ADX51s – As overheads: The most common positioning concept is to keep thesnare as the focal point and move the mics into various left and right positions equaldistance from the snare; 4 feet is a good starting point. For best results, keep the micsin a vertical position, keeping in mind that you are not necessarily just miking thecymbals but the whole kit.
