D112 MKII Professional Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone

The AKG D112 MKII carries forward the reputation its predecessor built over more than 30 years as one of the best bass drum microphones available, now with a new integrated flexible mount for easier positioning. Its large diaphragm has a very low resonance frequency that delivers a solid, powerful response below 100Hz, complemented by a narrow-band presence boost at 4kHz that cuts through dense mixes and loud stage volumes. The D112 MKII can handle more than 160dB SPL without distortion, so it stays clean even on the loudest kick drums or bass cabinets. An integrated hum-compensation coil keeps electrical noise to a minimum, and most engineers find it needs little to no additional EQ to sound right the moment you bring up the fader. Beyond bass drums, the D112 MKII works well on electric bass cabinets and trombones, giving it a place in both live rigs and studio sessions where a punchy low end matters.
