The Ideal Mic For That Big Percussion Sound!

For bringing out the real, dynamic sound of your drum toms and congas, nothing beats (ha, ha) the D2! The D2 accurately reproduces the warmth and punch you listen for from percussion, leaving out the muddy, indistinct "boom" that can mar recording. The D2's natural warmth also makes it a great mic for saxophones and other woodwinds requiring a true, sensitive, yet big, reproduction.

Perfect Rack Tom Mic for live performance

No EQ, compression, etc., necessary. Just tune your tom, dampen your batter head to fit the venue, and point the D2 toward the middle of the head.

Note: the D4 mic works brilliantly with my floor tom. I highly recommend getting a D4 for your floor tom(s) and a D2(s) for your rack tom(s).

Good customers service and fast shipping. Will look forward to do business with you again.

Great frequency response

Great microphone. Does what it's supposed to do. I use it on a 12 inch rack tom with a boom mic stand, and I get a really good round punchy sound out of it.

Sax mic

I've owned one for over 20 years . A warm full sounding microphone that does not add brightness. Small size fits easy in case compartments.
by Sweetwater Customer on

Audix d2 is a great rack tom Mick.

I got this for live shows, and does the job well,much easier to work with than the senn.421 that I now keep in our studio to record with.

Getting the most for the money isn't just a big deal for our customers, it's also what the artists and engineers at Sweetwater look for when we're shopping for our own gear. That's why we're such fans of Audix microphones. Early on, we discovered must-have Audix mics such as the handheld OM2, the tight and punchy D6 kick mic, and the super-versatile i5. You'll also find Audix specialty hardware like CabGrabbers and D-Vice mic holders in our studios and live rigs. Their drum mic bundles offer amazing value, while our house of worship customers love their MicroBoom line for miking choirs. No matter the application, Sweetwater is happy to recommend the right Audix gear for your needs.
