Product Description
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.

Sound Quality and Performance:

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.
