D -Series Dynamic hi-SPL instrument microphone

The D6 is a dynamic microphone that can reproduce comparatively low frequencies excellently. The D6 with cardioid pattern offers a transmission range of 30 Hz to 15 kHz (+/-3 dB) and is therefore ideal for miking kick drums, bass speakers/combos and similar instruments. Transformerless electronics as well as low-impedance and symmetrical outputs guarantee interference-free performance - even when using longer cable lengths. The very stable housing is made of a piece of aluminum and is approximately twice as large as the other models in the D series.

In my opinion, this is the best bass drum microphone! While you can always use an EQ, it's not necessary here, especially in rock and metal. The attack sound is achieved through proper aiming, and the punch is achieved through proper placement. I've had the best experiences with this microphone on the bass drum, roughly halfway between the beater and the rim, about the width of a hand away from the head (not the resonant head). The position needs to be adjusted depending on the bass drum. My buying tip!
