- KICK DRUM MICROPHONE: The D6 is an excellent choice for kick drums, featuring a frequency response of 30Hz-15kHz and a cardioid pick-up pattern that doesn't require finding the drum's "sweet spot."
- SNARE MICROPHONE: Ideal for snares, the i5 has a cardioid polar pattern, a uniform frequency response of 50Hz-16kHz, and the ability to handle sound pressure levels above 140 dB.
- TOM MICROPHONE: For dynamic sound from drum toms and congas, the D2 can accurately reproduce the warmth and punch without the muddy, indistinct "boom" common in other microphones.
- FLOOR TOM MICROPHONE: The D4 is perfect for low-end sounds, providing an extra "oomph" to your kick drum, bass amp, and other low instruments with its flat, linear response. It's particularly useful for floor toms when used in conjunction with the D6.
- OVERHEAD MICROPHONE: The ADX51 is a versatile pre-polarized condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, suitable for various applications in live events, studios, and broadcasts. It offers a smooth uniform response over a frequency range of 40Hz-20kHz.
