The Audix D2 Drum Mic Kit | Professional Drum Microphonesis well suited for use in stage, studio, and broadcast applications, and features the frequency and sensitivity response required for accurately reproducing signals from drums and percussion instruments. The mic has a dynamic element capable of reproducing signals with high transient peaks, while maintaining a clear, punchy, and warm sound.

The D2 offers a frequency response of 68 Hz to 18 kHz which features a slight bump in the mid-bass frequencies. The contoured mid-bass response accentuates the tonal frequencies associated with instruments that have a percussive nature, such as rack toms, congas, floor toms, saxophone, brass, horns, as well as guitar and bass cabinets. The hypercardioid polar pattern provides a tight pickup area at the front of the capsule for isolation and feedback control, and it is equipped with a VLM (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction. Ambiance and noise at the off-axis sections of the microphone are greatly reduced, resulting in high signal-to-noise ratio.

[End Address] SM57 are great, durable and considered bullet proof industry standard! The Beta 52 is also great! This pack has clips and quality XLR cables, and a carrying case for travel and/storage! Great offering at a great price! Supplied quickly as well! Thanks B&H! 5

Ron M	25/09/2024
[Hypercardioid] Well, it doesn't look that great in the pictures, does it ? Indeed, I doubt it would have occurred to me to BUY one, until TWO of them arrived over a year ago as part of my superb Audix SCX25A matched pair piano miking kit. From that moment on, I found myself constantly reaching for them (rather than my vast inventory of other clamps) whenever the need arose to mount all sorts of things in all sorts of less conventional places. That they're fabulous for mics is a given, but these clamps are ALSO unmatched, in my long experience, for the secure clamping of more exotic things, such as mini cams and wireless mic antennae. Perhaps the best testimony I can give in terms of just HOW useful they've been (and what good value for money they represent) is me telling you that I now own a total of six. 5

[End Address] What else can we say about these classic microphones?.would be awesome to shure had included a pair of SM81 in the kit. 5

[Hypercardioid] 3 SM57's? AND a beta 52 kick drum mic?! Hello! This is a great little package! Very versatile for lots and lots of different applications. Who doesn't use 57's? The drum rim mounting system is very well designed and built solidly but apart from live applications not much use in the studio as it can damage the tone of the drums. Lovely little molded plastic case for the kit to sit in between uses. Very happy with mine. 5

[Mono] This kit gives you all the essentials you need to start recording your drums at home. The clarity of the mics are super high quality and especially the kick drum mic. These are industry standards for a reason! 5

[Solid-State] Sturdy as advertised, low profile, quick and easy to mount, move and take off. Mine came with a heavy plastic mic clip unlike the thinner kind (which can break easy) as pictured. The only problem with these clips is once you have everything in place and wired it is difficult to adjust the height of the mic. It's easiest to un-patch the XLR then readjust the height. Otherwise, a really great mount for your D series mics. 5

[End Address] We love this setup. It included all we need to record drums and a drum set. Works great and the rebate made it even better. 5

Vince	15/07/2024
[Solid-State] With the free accessories and no tax payboo card this is the best price for the mics. Plus the added knowledge that BHphoto is an official Shure dealer gives me piece of mind that these aren't counterfeits. Search counterfeit Shure mics online and you'll find you can't even trust Amazon with all the random sellers storing bad mics in the warehouse. 5

Rodger	15/07/2024
[Hypercardioid] Micing the double bass can be tricky, but this has proven to be an inexpensive solution for getting a great live acoustic bass sound- everything I want to capture is there, without adding any additional qualities inherent in piezo pickup systems. Punchy lows when you want it, without being uncontrollably boomy; inexpensive; lightweight and unobtrusive; rejects unwanted nearby sound sources; resists feedback; with the Audix inline XLR transformer, this dynamic works perfectly with any instrument amplifier. 5

[Mono] I have a little studio, and I use the mics far all sorts of stuff... this mic set is my instrumental mic set it does a good job with all my applications on musical instruments. 5
