D6X Dynamic Cardioid Kick Drum Microphone

The D6X is a dynamic instrument microphone that has been thoughtfully designed, machined, assembled and tested by AUDIX in the USA. It builds upon the distinguished legacy of the D6 microphone, which is highly regarded for its application in stage, studio, and broadcast scenarios. Lightweight, compact, and easy to position, the D6X is an excellent choice for miking instruments that require extended low-frequency reproduction such as kick drums, large toms and a variety of other instruments. The D6X microphone features a specially tuned and optimized dynamic capsule that utilizes the legendary and exclusive AUDIX VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural sound and exceptional transient response. The capsule is designed with a Cardioid polar pattern to improve isolation and feedback control. D6X introduces a recessed, easy to operate switch that unlocks three different sound profiles: 

> The bottom position (Deep) retains 100% of the classic D6 sonic performance: that’s the familiar starting point for a deep, cut-through-the-mix sound;

> The center position (Balanced) delivers a more balanced version of the D6 sound, providing more mids and upper mids thus lending itself to slightly more traditional kick sounds without losing the overall D6 sonic impact;

> The top position (Natural) changes the mic response towards a more linear behaviour, bringing even more midrange and slightly changing the hi-end roll-off. This position lends itself to miking different sound sources like percussions, guitar cabs and a wide variety of instruments.

The D6X is manufactured with a precision machined aluminum body, black anodized finish, steel mesh grill and a reliable, high quality XLR connector. The transformerless design, low impedance and balanced output allow for interference-free performance even with long cable runs.
