Description

The Audix D6 Kick Drum Mic is currently retailing at GBP 185 and it is in stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Mic Pro think that Audix nailed it with the Audix D6 Kick Drum Mic.

One of the most respected modern kick drum mics, the Audix D6 offers an instant low end thump, along with enough high end to bring the click of the pedal through so you do not have to bring the kick up in the mix an more than necessary, preserving valuable headroom. For modern, tight bass drum sounds, place the mic close to the batter head, somewhere around where the beater hits the skin. For a more open sound, back it off or even put it outside the drum. The D6’s excellent low end response means that even outside the confines of the drum, the low end translates accurately with plenty of bass power.

Here’s what Audix say about the D6 Kick Drum Microphone:

Provides huge kick drum sound with ground shaking low end while delivering exceptional clarity and attack.

Designed, machined, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the D6 is a dynamic instrument microphone used for stage, studio and broadcast applications. The D6, which is characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control, is equipped with a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction.

The D6 is lightweight, compact and easy to position. With a wide frequency response of 30 Hz – 15 kHz and the ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 144 dB, the D6 is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring extended low frequency reproduction such as kick drum, large toms, and bass cabinets.

Roadworthy construction includes a precision machined aluminum body, black anodized finish, laser etched model and serial number, steel mesh grill, Switchcraft XLR connector and includes a tension-fit heavy duty nylon mic clip.

Transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow for interference-free performance even with long cable runs.

Drum

A drum microphone is specifically designed to capture the sound of drums and other percussion instruments with clarity and precision. These microphones are built to handle high sound pressure levels, as drums can produce loud and dynamic sounds. Drum microphones often have a rugged construction to withstand the physical impact of live performances or intense recording sessions. They typically come in dynamic or condenser types, with dynamic microphones being commonly used for miking kick drums and toms due to their durability, while condenser microphones are often used for overhead miking to capture the cymbals and the overall drum kit sound. Drum microphone kits often include a combination of mics tailored to different drum components for a well-rounded sound capture.

A live microphone is a microphone designed for use in real-time sound amplification during events like concerts, public speaking, or theatre performances. These microphones are built for durability to withstand the physical demands of live events, often featuring cardioid or supercardioid patterns to reject unwanted noise from the sides or rear. They are typically used to capture clear and focused sound, ensuring high-quality audio for both the performer and the audience, and are chosen based on their ability to handle varying sound levels and environmental conditions.
