The D6 is an American-made instrument microphone designed for live and studio performance. It has a cardioid pick-up pattern and a frequency response of 30Hz - 15kHz. The D6 is an ideal choice for kick drum, bass cabs, and other instruments requiring low frequency reproduction.

Comments about Audix D6 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone:
I've been using this mic on all our performances for the past 6 years. It cuts through it all. If it ever does die on me, I will replace it with another D6 for sure. If you're looking for a reliable kick mic, this is the one to buy!

Comments about Audix D6 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone:
I use this for recording & for performing. It gets everything; I hear the same sound on the recording that I do sitting on my throne. I use the Earthworks kickpad in-line eq with it, and the first time I heard the playback, I just got an ear-to-ear eating grin.
