The D6X is a dynamic cardioid instrument microphone for stage, studio, and broadcast applications that replaces the popular D6. Lightweight, compact, and easy to position, The D6X is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring extended low frequency reproduction such as kick drums, large toms, and bass cabinets. It features an easy to operate switch that unlocks three different sound profiles. The bottom position (Deep) retains 100% of the classic D6 sonic performance. The center position (Balanced) delivers a more balanced version of the D6 sound, providing more mids and upper mids thus lending itself to slightly more traditional kick sounds without losing the overall D6 sonic impact. The top position (Natural) changes the mic response towards a more linear behaviour, bringing even more midrange and slightly changing the hi-end roll-off. This position lends itself to pickup of different sound sources like percussions, guitar cabs and a wide variety of instruments. The D6X is equipped with Audix proprietary dynamic VLM (Very Low Mass) capsule technology combined with durable and compact construction and a transformer-less, low impedance design for interference-free performance. Includes stand adapter, thread adapter and zippered microphone pouch.
