Audix D6 Large Format Bass Drum Microphone

Dynamic Instrument Microphones

The D6 has a frequency response of 30 Hz - 15 kHz and is characterized with a cardioid pick-up pattern. The D6 is designed to sound good in any position and it is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D series percussion and instrument microphones very popular for today's live stages and recording studios.

REVIEWS
Feature:
It comes with a quality mic clip, thread adapter and a padded pouch which is all you could really ask for.

Quality:
The mic is machined out of a solid piece of aluminum. There is nothing to rattle and I'm sure it is quite durable, though I don't plan on testing this theory.

Value:
It's ten bucks more than a beta52 and same price as a D112, sounds great and seems like a winner.

Sound:
I have not done side by side comparisons of bass drum mics, but purchased the D6 based on a recommendation and lots of internet research. I have been able to get very different and very good sounds by altering placement of the mic. Inside my 18x20 maple bass drum the mic picks up good attack and plenty of low end punch.

Support:
I have had no need to contact customer support thus far.

Overall:
Although I don't have experience with other dedicated bass drum mics, I know what good audio sounds like. This is a quality product made in the USA and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
