Audix DP8 Professional 7-Piece Drum Microphone Package
DP8 Overview
The Audix DP8 is a premium drum microphone package configured to cover a complete five-piece kit, from kick and snare to rack toms, floor tom, hi-hat, and overhead cymbals. Kick, snare, and tom microphones utilize Audix VLM (Very Low Mass) capsule technology for natural, accurate sound reproduction in demanding high-SPL applications. The package also includes the ultra-compact M1280BHC hi-hat microphone and M1280B overhead cymbal microphones to capture complex cymbal timbres and wide dynamic ranges. The DP8 is suited for live sound engineers, touring companies, recording studios, and houses of worship requiring a complete, professional drum mic solution.
Included DVICE rim mounts allow direct attachment to drum shells, eliminating the need for bulky mic stands and streamlining stage setup and teardown.
