About this item

  • ULTIMATE KICK DRUM MICROPHONE: The Audix D6 is the ultimate choice for achieving exceptional kick drum sounds, precisely capturing the kick drum's pure and undistorted sound.
  • CARDIOID PICKUP PATTERN: The D6 microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern that effectively rejects external sounds, ensuring focused and accurate sound reproduction without interference.
  • SWIFT RESPONSE: Equipped with a VLM diaphragm, the D6 responds swiftly to the beater's attack, delivering accurate and impactful sound reproduction that captures the drum's attack and character.
  • DEEP AND EARTHSHAKING LOWS: The D6's frequency response, ranging from 30Hz to 15kHz, emphasizes the low-end frequencies necessary for deep, earthshaking lows, making it an ideal choice for capturing powerful kick drum sounds.
  • VERSATILE LOW-FREQUENCY CAPTURE: While designed for kick drums, the D6 microphone also performs admirably with other low-frequency instruments, such as bass, providing versatility and flexibility in sound capture.

    Performance is Everything.

    Audix has been a leader in the professional audio industry since 1984. Their mission is to design, engineer, and manufacture high-performance products that contribute to innovation in the field. Their state-of-the-art facility in Wilsonville, Oregon houses their research, design, fabrication, assembly, final test and logistics operations.

    Audix D6 Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone

    The Audix D6 is a highly sought-after microphone for capturing low-frequency instruments such as the kick drum. With its VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm and 30Hz–15kHz frequency response, it offers superior sound quality with punchy lows and clear attack. The cardioid pickup pattern also does an excellent job of rejecting external sources from interfering with the sound of the kick drum. This makes it one of the best choices for getting pure, clean sounds every time.

    • Cardioid polar pattern rejects sound from external sources
    • Maximum SPL of 144dB: more than enough to withstand a pounding kick drum or thumping bass cab
    • 30Hz–15kHz frequency response sports big bumps right where you need it

    Dependable Cardioid Kick Drum Microphone

    The Audix 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!

    Customers like the quality, value, performance, and pop of the microphone. For example, they mention it does a really good job of capturing the bass from a kick drum or bass cabinet, it's well worth buying and that it works great in the studio and live.

    Customers are satisfied with the mic quality of the product. They mention that it sounds awesome with little additional EQ at the board, does a really good job of capturing the bass from a kick drum or bass cabinet, and is excellent for my bass cabinet. It also makes miking a Kick drum a breeze, as it is pre-eq'd to what most engineers ultimately dial.
