D6 DESCRIPTION
 
Looking For A Huge, Clean, Undistorted Kick Drum Sound?
The Audix D6 is the perfect choice for solid kick drum sounds. The cardioid pickup pattern does an excellent job rejecting sound from external sound source to keep the sound of the kick drum pure and clean. The D6 boasts a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm to react quickly to the attack of the beater, and the 30Hz-15kHz frequency response sports big bumps right where you need it for earth-shaking lows without sacrificing the attack. For other low-frequency instruments such as bass, the D6 fares equally well.

Audix D6 at a Glance:
  • Tuned specifically for kick drum and low-frequency instruments
  • Sounds good no matter where you place it

Tuned specifically for kick drum and low-frequency instruments
The D6 is designed specifically to tackle kick drums and other low-frequency instruments. There is 14dB of boost at 60 Hz, 15dB between 4 and 5K, and 17db between 10 and 12k. The tailored response of this microphone makes it ideal for use of 22" bass drums. 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. The VLM diaphragm ensures that the mic responds very quickly to transients, ensuring the attack isn't lost.

Sounds good no matter where you place it
Drums are one of the hardest instruments to record, especially when trying to replicate the sound of a previous recording. The D6 is designed to sound good in any position and it is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. This is great since you know that time after time, the kick will sound great!

Audix D6 Features:
  • Cardioid polar pattern
  • Tuned for kick and bass
  • 30Hz-15kHz frequency response
  • Not dependent on finding "sweet spot" for good sound
  • VLM diaphragm for fast transient response

Audix D6 - The perfect mic for low-frequency applications!



Customer Reviews
Audix D6  
by AD , March 25, 2006

“I"ve been a gigging drummer for many years, mainly in a 3 piece rock n roll band. To mic my 20 inch -kick I have tried a few kick mics - from cheap Sound Kings through AKG D112s and Shure B52s to the Beyer M88. The Audix D6 is the most hassle-free (in terms of positioning, EQing, gain width and overall sound)I have used - period.”

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The Audix D6 is my "go to" microphone. I place my Audix D6 right in the middle of my kick drum through a cut-out hole in my front head. I prefer a tight, thumping sound so I have a massive pet pillow inside the kick to deaden the ring. Placed through my Presonus ADL 600 tube microphone preamp and straight into Pro Tools|HD, the Audix D6 gives me a kick drum tone I am more than happy with!"
Brad Lyons

  "The Audix D6 is one of my "go to" mics, both on stage and in the studio. It has a great presence that really brings the kick forward in the mix."
Dan VanAmerongen

  "Great for getting that hard rock kick sound where the mids are scooped out. Excellent at articulating the click from the beater."
David Stewart
