Microphone Type

The Audix D6 is a dynamic microphone, which means it does not require external power and is known for its durability and reliability.

Purpose and Application

Primarily designed for capturing low-frequency sounds, the D6 is commonly used for miking kick drums, bass guitar cabinets, and other low-frequency instruments in both live and studio settings.

Frequency Response

The microphone typically has a tailored frequency response with emphasis on the low-end, providing a warm and powerful representation of bass frequencies.

The microphone is designed with a built-in EQ curve optimized for kick drums and low-frequency instruments, allowing for a well-defined and punchy sound.

Polar Pattern

The D6 utilizes a cardioid polar pattern, focusing on sound capture from the front while minimizing background noise and feedback.

Mounting and Positioning

The microphone is often positioned inside the kick drum or in close proximity to the bass instrument to capture the fullness of the low-frequency content.

Live Sound and Studio Use

The D6 is suitable for both live sound reinforcement and studio recording, making it a versatile choice for a range of audio production scenarios.
