D6XDynamic Kick Drum Mic

• 3 selectable filters for ultimate tone flexibility
• Recessed switch for convenient, error-free operation
• Lightweight & Compact for easy positioning
• VLM dynamic capsule tech for deep lows and precise transients
• Cardioid polar pattern for optimal sound isolation

The D6X is a dynamic instrument microphone that builds on the historic legacy of the D6 microphone, our highly praised design for stage, studio, and broadcast applications.
Lightweight, compact, and easy to position, the D6X cardioid microphone is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring extended low frequency reproduction such as kick drums, large toms, and bass cabinets.

D6X introduces an easy to operate switch that unlocks three different sound profiles:
The bottom position (Deep) retains 100% of the classic D6 sonic performance: that's the familiar starting point for a deep, cut-through-the-mix sound.

The center position (Balanced) delivers a more balanced version of the D6 sound, providing more mids and upper mids thus lending itself to slightly more traditional kick sounds without losing the overall D6 sonic impact.

The top position (Natural) changes the mic response towards a more linear behaviour, bringing even more midrange and slightly changing the hi-end roll-off. This position lends itself to micking different sound sources like percussions, guitar cabs and a wide variety of instruments.

All off this is made possible by our proprietary dynamic VLM (Very Low Mass) capsule technology combined with durable and compact construction and a transformerless, low impedance design for interference-free performance.
For miking low-frequency sources, such as kick drums, floor toms, and bass cabinets, the Audix D6 dynamic microphone has long been a staple in the mic lockers of many Sweetwater studio engineers. Now, we're proud to offer the D6X: an updated D6 that includes three different sound profiles accessible via a simple and convenient switch. You'll also benefit from Audix's proprietary dynamic Very Low Mass (VLM) capsule technology that retains all your transient information, a cardioid polar pattern for excellent off-axis rejection, and a rugged and discreet build that makes the D6X dynamic microphone super-easy to place.

The D6X microphone provides you with superior tone-shaping capabilities via its 3-position switch. The bottom position (Deep) is the classic D6 sound you know and love, perfect for kick drums and bass cabs. The center position (Balanced) provides more mids and upper mids. Finally, the top position (Natural) gives you even more midrange and slightly alters high-end roll-off, giving you a great, natural-sounding capture of percussion instruments, guitar cabinets, and more.
