Excellent mics

I don't tend to review things I don't like. In general these mics are excellent, especially for the price. The best mic of the set is the F5. I tested these mics recording both drums and full range hi fidelity playback to get a feel for their colorations. Here are the observations.

The F5 has very low distortion and sounds very very close to my Audix I 5. The mic sounds excellent on snare and toms and full range music.

The F2 mics have a bit more coloration when recording full range music perhaps a function of their body design. They produce a nice full range tailored tom sound that does not require a lot of eq.

The F6 bass drum mic produces a professional bass drum sound with suppressed boom and reasonable punch. The mic has pretty low sensitivity, likely due to the damping of the diaphragm to pre eq it for bass.

Does the job

If you are looking for cheap drum mics, these are amazing. Very solid default EQ make working with these pretty simple. Just find the sweet spot and they sound pretty darn good as is. I run them through a Tascam 16x08 and use Sonar Platinum. Even with just the default EQ on these things you can get a decent sound. Rule number 1 of drum recording is you will only ever be as good as the kit. You can't polish a turd. On the flip side, if you mic a $20,000 Craviotto with a 10$ USB mic, it will sound like a 10$ USB mic. All that being said, if you know what you are doing, the Audix FP5 kit can be pleasantly surprising for the money.

Getting the most for the money isn't just a big deal for our customers, it's also what the artists and engineers at Sweetwater look for when we're shopping for our own gear. That's why we're such fans of Audix microphones. Early on, we discovered must-have Audix mics such as the handheld OM2, the tight and punchy D6 kick mic, and the super-versatile i5. You'll also find Audix specialty hardware like CabGrabbers and D-Vice mic holders in our studios and live rigs. Their drum mic bundles offer amazing value, while our house of worship customers love their MicroBoom line for miking choirs. No matter the application, Sweetwater is happy to recommend the right Audix gear for your needs.
