Audix D6X — Three-Profile Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone
D6X Overview
The Audix D6X is a dynamic cardioid instrument microphone that builds on the proven legacy of the Audix D6, extending its capabilities for stage, studio, and broadcast applications. Designed specifically for instruments requiring extended low-frequency reproduction, it excels on kick drums, large toms, and bass cabinets. At its core is Audix’s proprietary VLM (Very Low Mass) capsule technology, paired with a transformerless, low-impedance design for interference-free performance. The D6X is well suited for audio engineers, touring companies, houses of worship, and studio professionals who demand consistent, controllable low-end capture.
Lightweight and compact, the D6X is easy to position in tight spaces, and its three-position sound profile switch gives engineers on-mic tonal control without requiring additional outboard processing.
Key Features
- Three-Position Sound Profile Switch — selects between Deep, Balanced, and Natural response profiles directly on the microphone body
- Deep Mode (Bottom Position) — retains 100% of the classic D6 sonic character, delivering the familiar deep, cut-through-the-mix low-end performance
- Balanced Mode (Center Position) — provides increased mids and upper mids for a more traditional kick drum sound while preserving the overall D6 sonic impact
- Natural Mode (Top Position) — shifts the response toward a more linear behavior with additional midrange presence and a modified high-end roll-off, suitable for percussion, guitar cabinets, and a wide range of instruments
- Proprietary VLM (Very Low Mass) Capsule — Audix’s dynamic capsule technology engineered for accurate transient response and extended low-frequency reproduction
- Transformerless, Low-Impedance Design — eliminates transformer coloration and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference
- Compact and Lightweight Construction — facilitates precise placement inside kick drums, near bass cabinets, and in other space-constrained miking positions
- Designed and Crafted in the USA — manufactured to Audix’s domestic quality standards
