Audix D6

Audix D6 hire in Melbourne. Our kick drum mic of choice, for a full, round kick with ground shaking low end and the click to cut through.

Kick drum mic hire is about getting weight without mud, and the D6 does it straight off the stand. It's a cardioid dynamic with a voicing that gives you the low end and the attack of the beater at the same time, so the kick sounds finished before it hits the desk. The tight cardioid pickup keeps the rest of the kit and the bass amp out of the channel. It's light and compact, so it slides into the port hole or sits inside the drum without fighting the stand.

It's the kick mic in our Band PA Sound System Package and the one we use on our own live and studio jobs. It works just as well on a floor tom or a bass cab when you want the low end to land.

Good for: kick drum, floor tom, bass cabinets, low brass, live band setups, studio recording and broadcast.

Good to know: Comes with a mic clip and pouch. Cable, stand and mixer are separate. Put it just inside the port, angled toward the beater and adjust from there.
