Audix D6 Large Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone: Shh!! Big Broth

Audix D6 Large Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone: Shh!! Big Brother Is Tracking

The Tristan James / Celine Zaphiratos tag-team at Proletariat Productions demos yet another Audix mic. They've already covered the D1 and D2; this time they're taking a listen to the Audix D2, again on a rack tom. The D6 has a large, passive diaphragm and a high SPL-handling, making it an excellent choice for kick drums and bass cabinets, and it's a fraction of the cost of many other similar mics.

[tinster666]

why would you mic a mounted tom with a d6?

[chucky1169469]

I agree...why would you put a D6 on a mounted tom....deep floor tom maybe, but not a mounted.

@BTCSUK it's not the mic that's the problem, it's everything else in the equation that made it sound shit!

[InfinityEnterprises]

AYO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND HIT THE DRUM.

@kennykensworth I actually thought it sounded like 1 gallon milk carton lol

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

What was this demonstrating, how not to use a D6?

[kennykensworth]

sounds like someone bangin' on a 5 gallon plastic bucket!

wow i thought the mic just sounded horrible on a tom, but i watched the d1 and d2 vids and they sound like crap too. basically these people have no idea what they are doing.

i can get a better tom sound out of a nady. : (

[gilesstocks]

that rack tom doesn't sound like a rack tom, more like someone tapping the bottom of a empty plastic jerry can...

[DubsMood]

the best tuned tom ever!!!! omg... what a review...

[namniekib]

I don't think a cardioid mic would sound that good being so close to the head unless you want a deadened disco sound.
