The Audix D6 is Excellent

Audix does not realize this, but I’m sure they love me. I am a pro drummer and I use this microphone for my bass drum. When we do concerts, I bring it and tell the sound guy I want to use the D6 instead of what he was planning on using. Almost every single time, after the concert, they are asking me all kinds of questions about the D6. They loved how easy it was to work with and how it sounded. As a drummer, I will never get to hear exactly what the audience hears, so I can only tell you about my experiences with the Audix D6 after the show. Bottom line, the sound guys love it and always compliment the Audix D6 after they have heard it through their sound system. Try Audix. They are a smaller company and they pay more attention to detail.

I use this mic to amplify my stand up bass. I also use a sennhieser 602 mic. I have never used a better mic than the d6 to mic any bass instrument. Absolutely worth the money.

Whether using the Audix D6 or the Sennheiser E902 I get a great sound with little EQ. Used them both in studio, clubs, and large outdoor concert tours. I always reccomend a condenser in addition to get the best sound. Actually Audio-Technica has a nice dual element, but for a single this and the sennheiser are great. I never liked Shure, the mics were so old fasioned, and the audix d series but them to sleep. I also highly reccomend you try Sennheiser and Audio Technica. For a snare I'd reccomend sennheiser's snare mic, or the Audix i5. It's basically a new school, hot roded SM57 with as good a sound as the beta 57, for the cost of the SM. Sounds even better, smooth and even. Either the audix or the sennheiser works great. Can't beat those for snare and dynamic mics for drums.

Great Mic!

Very easy to work with, just put on a stand in the kick drum and it sounds killer. All the parts are already there without any EQ. The lows are boomy and the mids and highs punch right through. Would reccomend for any live or recording application.

This is an absolutely stellar kick mic for live situations. I have never recorded with it but I get compliments from sound guys saying how great the Audix mics are to work with and that they require very little EQ'ing. The mics are trouble free and built extremely well. I have all Audix Mics inside my drums using the MAY Internal Miking system and couldn't be happier!
