## Overview

The AKGD112 MKII Dynamic Bass-Drum Microphone is engineered for professional sound capture, featuring a robust frequency bandwidth of 20Hz to 17kHz, a cardioid pickup pattern for focused audio, and the ability to handle over 160 dB SPL without distortion. Its innovative design includes a bass resonance chamber for enhanced sound quality, a flexible mount for easy positioning, and a hum-compensation coil to eliminate unwanted noise.

## Description

The D112 MkII professional dynamic bass drum microphone features a new integrated flexible mount, while retaining all the sonic strengths that have made it's predecessor the industry-standard. Over the years the D112 has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the best bass drum microphones ever made, for its high SPL capability, punchy EQ and bulletproof construction. The D112 MkII can handle more than 160 dB SPL without distortion. Its large diaphragm has a very low resonance frequency that delivers a solid and powerful response below 100 Hz. Its authoritative low end is complemented by a narrow-band presence boost at 4 kHz that punches through even dense mixes and loud stage volumes with forceful impact. One of the many reasons artists and sound engineers love the D112 MkII is that it requires no additional EQ to sound just right as soon as you bring up the fader. Further refining its performance, the D112 MkII features an integrated hum-compensation coil that keeps noise to an absolute minimum. In addition to being an exceptional bass drum mic on stage and in the studio, the D112 MkII is an excellent choice for miking electric bass cabinets and trombones. 1 x D112 MKII Kick Drum mic

Review: classic for a reason - used this on both bass and kick drums galore, sounds amazing. what’s actually underrated is how well it picks up high end - when recording slap this really brings out the pops without making it too harsh. overall amazing mic, great purchase for anyone looking to start recording at home/with a band
Review: Stands the test of time! - This mic has stood the test of time. It's robust, and versatile on low frequency instruments. I particularly love how it sounds on the floor tom more than the kick drum to be honest. It's really great at getting punch out of the kick, but better to be paired with a kick-in mic like a senheisser e901 if you want a full sounding kick. It's also amazing on bass amps. So can't complain with this one, and for its price it's really great value.
