AKG D112 MKII Kick Drum Microphone with Flexible Mount - Secondhand

Full Description

Fat kick drums for over 30 years

An industry-standard for good reason. The D112 has graced stages and studios all over the world with its potent sound and rugged design for over three decades. Its high SPL handling capabilities (up to 160dB without distortion) make it the perfect choice for loud and impactful sound sources such as low-frequency instruments. From bass drums and bass cabinets to floor toms and trombones, the D112 captures every detail down to 20Hz with exceptional precision. Its large diaphragm ensures that the mic's response below 100Hz is solid and powerful to give you fat kicks and thunderous bass. And with a narrow-band presence boost around 4kHz, your sound can cut through even the densest of mixes.

The MKII mount

That same great sound with a new physical design. The AKG D112 MKII features a new integrated flexible mount. Gone are the days of difficult positioning with the original's rigid shaft. The MKII lets you get your mic right into where the action is without having to fashion some form of makeshift mounting method. Whether you want your D112 flush with your sound source, or set at an angle, the MKII lets you find the perfect positioning with ease.

Reviews

"Now this is what I call a kick drum sound - not only can you hear the bass, you can hear the impact of the beater, and almost feel the rush of air coming from the drum. This is an excellent kick drum sound with all the elements well in place - anything you don't want can be EQ'd out." - Audio Masterclass D112 MKII Review

"...the new stand mount is a big improvement on the original design and should ensure the solid and consistent sound that has made the D112 an industry standard." - Audio Media International D112 MKII Review
