DISC AKG D112 Dynamic Bass Drum Mic

Full Description

The D112 has earned a well-deserved reputation worldwide as the best kick drum microphone ever made. Heavy-footed drummers won't faze it, because the D112 handles up to 160 dB SPL with no audible distortion.

A specially-engineered diaphragm with a very low resonance frequency maintains a solid and powerful response below 100 Hz, while a narrow band presence rise at 4 kHz punches through dense mixes with little or no added EQ.

The result is a kick drum sound that ideally balances precise definition and forceful impact. The D112 is also an excellent choice for use with bass cabinets, trombones and other bass instruments.

Absolutely free of distortion even at high sound pressure levels, very low diaphragm resonance, a relatively narrow-band rising high frequency response at 4 kHz and an extremely robust construction, the D112 is an outstanding microphone for both stage and studio applications.

Reviews

"The AKG D112 is really one of those mics that does what it says on the tin. It's a kick drum microphone that can take big SPLs and is really robust and well made."
