The best and most versatile kick drum mic I’ve ever had. Studio, live, whatever genre I’m working that day…it shows up and shows out!!! Beautiful!

The mic was shipped in the box the mic comes in, no outer shipping box or mail bag, with the address label over 2 sides of the box, but not where the opening is. The box was delivered inside my garage, which I subscribe to, but it was not sealed at all. They could have at least stuck the address label over the the open side, so that no one could open it. As far as I can tell, nothing is missing from the box and nothing seems damaged. It just bothers me that that's how they ship a $185 microphone. So that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. I bought it to use with my cajon, which I play in an amplified acoustic band. I've been using an Audix ADX-60, sitting on foam inside the cajon. The ADX-60 works ok, but when I try to crank it through my "rig" and give me a low ring that I can't seem to EQ out. I added a second internal mic, a Sennheiser e835, clamped to the sound hole and pointed at the snares. I decided to try a kick drum mic just for the low end. I haven't had time to really experiment with the EQ settings. Maybe it will be 4 stars.

Great low end and a million times better than the Akg D112 mic I had. This mic adds thump to your kick unlike other mics that add nothing eq wise and give you a flat smack.

I ended up getting 2 of these just on the off chance I have a drummer bring two kicks. Sounds best buried well into the port or about an inch off the head, be careful putting one right at the edge of the sound hole, the turbulence will mess with it and it'll be mushy sounding with. Play around with placement to get best results as with any mic. Bright and modern sounding but can get a nice classic thump if you don't over boost it. Can't foresee needing any different kick mic for anything else, with two of these in the kit I'm good to go, they leave me wanting for nothing.

Das es sich bei diesem Produkt um eine State of the Art Mikrofon handelt ist sicher hinlänglich bekannt. Das ich es hier gekauft habe, lag einfach am überzeugenden Preis.

Super microphone. The 'scooped' frequency response lends itself nicely to mic up bass whichis my intended use.Seems to have a tight cardioid pattern which is ideal, be sure to check positioning though and havefound it's possibly better to place it a little further away from your cab, perhaps 9".As a vocal mic (not by design) gives a rich "bass and treble" boosted sound with little popping,proximity effect is surprisingly good and even.Delighted..

This is definitely one of the best and should be in everyone’s collection. Definitely gets a lot of punch and boom. Almost effortless with placement, but does take strategy like mixing anything. This is my second one and not because the first one failed, because the first one was so great!

Unless you actually like your bass drum to sound like a cardboard box (d112) or a muffled lifeless thump (beta 52), the D6 is the mic for you. It’s natural response requires almost no eq. Works in the studio and live. I own 2 and I bring them to gigs when I play 2 kick drums and, unless I’m playing a venue of considerable size and quality, they don’t have anything better on hand... or 2 kick mics at all. You can probably buy a better kick mic for a lot more money, but you’d be hard pressed to get a useable one for any less. Of the standard choices, I will only use this one for close mic of a ported drum. Engineers have tried to use other mics on my drums, but a quick A/B test and they’ve all come around and agreed that my D6 sounds better than whatever they wanted to use. You can’t argue with the sound.

These bad boys are awesome! I have owned an Audix D6 for years and finally got a second a while back. It does a really good job of capturing the bass from a kick drum or bass cabinet. The microphone is certainly better-suited for hard rock or metal, as it does tend to give a somewhat "scooped" sound, but in a mix, it is not that big of a deal.When recording bass cabinets, I would recommend a good, balanced condenser microphone to go along with this one to make up for the loss of mids. To that point, the Audix D6 does a pretty good job of capturing upper mids, but you may not like the particular frequency it accents.-K
