D6 : The Rock/Metal weapon

13 years ago

I got this mic because I heard that the german band Rammstein used it live and I like their sound so I thought that I have to get one of these.

When I got it and unpacked it I placed it in the hole in my bass drum head, wired it and startet to play.

This day changed my live. I never heard a better sounding mic for a rock/metal bass drum. There was no need to eq the mic. The D6 has automaticly a little more gain at 80Hz and at 3500Hz, which is nice for rock/metal. The sound is equal to a combination of an e901 and a shure beta 52.

The price is also very nice compared to other microfones, a little bit higher but you know what you get.

And for the rock/metal bass drum it is the best.
