Overview

The Audix Fusion FP5 drum microphone set is a five-mic bundle meant for conventional drum setups, with dedicated dynamic hypercardioid mics for the kick, snare, and three mics for each toms.

The biggest of the mics is the F6, with 40Hz-16kHz frequency response especially tuned for kick drums.

The F2 mics for the toms have a frequency response of 55Hz-15kHz, while the F5 snare mic's frequency response is at 55Hz-15kHz.

There are some retailers that market the FP5 as a versatile mic kit, with some even recommending the Audix F6 mic for use with guitar cabinets.

All these mics are packed in an aluminum case along with four drum clips and one mic clip.

Although this was previously on our recommended list, there are now more highly rated options available which you can see in our guide to 5-Piece Drum Mic Kits.
