AKG D112 MKII Dynamic Bass Drum Microphone

The D112 MkII stands as the evolution of a legend, building upon the sonic foundation that made its predecessor the industry standard for bass drum recording. This professional dynamic microphone introduces a new integrated flexible mount whilst preserving all the tonal characteristics that have earned it widespread acclaim amongst artists and sound engineers worldwide.

Built to withstand extreme conditions, the D112 MkII handles more than 160 dB SPL without distortion, making it bulletproof for the most demanding live and studio applications. Its large diaphragm operates with a very low resonance frequency, producing solid and powerful response below 100 Hz. The authoritative low-end response is enhanced by a narrow-band presence boost at 4 kHz, ensuring the microphone cuts through dense mixes and loud stage volumes with forceful impact.

What sets the D112 MkII apart is its ability to sound exceptional straight out of the box - no additional EQ required when you bring up the fader. The integrated hum-compensation coil keeps noise to an absolute minimum, whilst the bass resonance volume chamber optimises low-frequency capture. Beyond bass drums, this versatile microphone excels when miking electric bass cabinets and trombones, making it an invaluable addition to any professional audio setup.
