The AUDIX D6X is a high-performance dynamic instrument microphone engineered for professionals, offering unmatched sound clarity for stage, studio, and broadcast applications. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the D6X builds on the legacy of the original D6 with enhanced versatility and precision. Featuring a specially tuned Very Low Mass (VLM) diaphragm, it delivers exceptional transient response and the most accurate representation of your instrument’s natural sound. Ideal for instruments with deep low frequencies, such as kick drums and large toms, the D6X provides rich and deep lows with an extended frequency range from 25 Hz to 17 kHz. Its cardioid polar pattern offers excellent isolation from unwanted ambient noise, making it perfect for both live performances and studio recordings. With a recessed switch offering three selectable filters, the D6X allows you to tailor the sound to any setup with ease. Compact, lightweight, and durable, this microphone is built to last, ensuring reliable performance in even the most demanding environments.

Key Features:

    The D6X’s Very Low Mass diaphragm ensures deep, natural lows with superior transient reproduction, capturing every detail of your instrument’s sound.
  • Recessed Switch with Three Filters:
    The D6X features a recessed switch offering three selectable filters, allowing you to adjust the tone for optimal sound in any environment or performance.
  • Cardioid Polar Pattern:
    The cardioid polar pattern isolates sound from unwanted sources, providing focused, clear audio and superior noise rejection in both live and studio settings.

Sound Quality and Performance:

The AUDIX D6X excels in capturing the full range of sound from instruments with extended low frequencies. Its VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm technology ensures superior transient response, making it perfect for high-energy performances or detailed recordings. Whether you’re recording deep kick drums, large toms, or any other instrument with powerful low-end frequencies, the D6X delivers a natural, uncoloured sound that maintains clarity and depth. The built-in filters provide further flexibility, enabling you to tailor the tonal qualities to suit any specific need, from tight and focused to a more expansive response. Its wide frequency range and excellent transient response make it an essential tool for capturing rich, authentic audio.

Versatility and Design:

Crafted for versatility, the D6X is equipped with a cardioid polar pattern that ensures optimal sound isolation, rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This makes the D6X highly effective in both controlled studio environments and dynamic live performances. Whether you’re mic’ing up a kick drum on stage or recording large percussion instruments in the studio, the D6X ensures that only the desired sound is captured with precision. Its compact and lightweight design further enhances its usability, making it easy to transport and position in any setup. The robust construction also guarantees durability, ensuring long-lasting performance under even the most demanding conditions.

These filters are ideal for adjusting the microphone’s tone to suit a wide range of instruments or environments, providing flexibility in both live sound and studio recording situations. Whether you need more presence in your low-end or a cleaner, more defined tone, the D6X adapts to meet your needs with ease.

Brand

Audix

Audix is a professional microphone manufacturer best known for its close association with drums, percussion, and live sound. The brand has earned a strong reputation for producing microphones that can handle high sound pressure levels while delivering clear, focused sound, making them a staple on drum kits in studios and on stages around the world.

Audix microphones are commonly used on kick drum, snare, toms, and overheads, with models designed specifically to capture punch, attack, and detail without excessive bleed. Their drum mic kits are especially popular with gigging drummers and engineers because they are easy to position, rugged enough for touring, and consistently reliable night after night.

Beyond drums, Audix also produces microphones for vocals, guitar amps, broadcast, and installed sound, but drumming remains at the heart of the brand’s identity. For players and engineers who want dependable, purpose-built microphones that work straight out of the box, Audix is widely regarded as a trusted and practical choice.

Drum Microphones

Drum microphones are designed to capture the power, detail, and dynamics of a drum kit in both live and studio environments. Because drums produce fast transients and very high sound pressure levels, dedicated drum mics are built to handle impact and volume while delivering clear, controlled sound.

Different microphones are used for different parts of the kit. Kick drum microphones focus on low-end weight and attack, snare and tom mics capture punch and articulation, and overhead microphones provide balance, cymbal detail, and a sense of space. Room microphones are often added to capture ambience and depth, especially in studio recordings.

Drum microphones are chosen based on sound character, placement flexibility, and reliability. Whether used individually or as part of a matched drum mic kit, the right microphones make it easier to achieve a balanced, professional drum sound for live gigs, rehearsals, home recording, and full studio productions.

Drum Mic

A good drum mic should capture clear punch and detail without distortion, control bleed from nearby drums and cymbals, and be easy to position securely on rims or stands. Durability is also important, especially for live use, along with a sound character that suits the drum’s role, such as focused low end for kick, crisp articulation for snare, and balanced detail for toms and overheads.

Kick Mic

A kick mic is designed to capture the low-end power and attack of a bass drum, translating physical impact into a clear, punchy sound. It controls deep frequencies while emphasising beater definition, helping the kick drum cut through a mix without sounding muddy. A good kick mic anchors the rhythm, adds weight to the groove, and keeps the low end tight and controlled in both live and studio settings.
