I watched many microphone reviews and shootouts, many drummers and engineers recommended it. I had the opportunity to purchase less expensive mics new and used but I purchased the Audix D6 and I am SUPER PLEASED at the sound. Not muddy but has great low end and has that punch! U need this in your life!

The i5 is great on guitar cab and snare...The SM57 is warmer, but if you need a brighter tone... This is it!

The D-6 is such a good Mic for the Kick drum and is very easy to make sound good with very little Eqing. Hard to beat for the money

We compared it with several brands and chose the Audix D6 because its capture was the most real and pure.

I have been a sound engineer for about 30 years. I have used all the kickdrum mikes in the marked that is worth to mention.When I first discovered the D6 a couple of years ago I knew this is it. This is the mike I have been looking for all these years. Its no longer needed to use two mikes for the kick as I used to, one for the deep and one for the click.This mike got both. I use it both in the studio and live.Its a hit.

I have used the D6 on 3 shows with many more to come. It does just what it was designed to do. 6 to 8 inches away from the beater head in line with the beaters. It has made a great difference in our sound and has surprised a few sound guys who are fans of other mikes. I have no complaints. It is easy to use as you have very little adjustments on the mixing board

A great multi-purpose dynamic mic, I use this small-sized, big-sounding tool for instruments and vocals alike. It obviously excels on the snare drum and on guitar cabinets, but I like the sound I get from it on various percussion, brass and lower-toned woodwind instruments. It doesn't have the shrill high-end crispness of a condenser, but you don't always need that. Overall, it sounds clean and strong, and adeptly resists feedback.
