D4 : Best floor tom mic

11 years ago

The audix D4 is for me the best floor tom mic with almost no need for EQ. Great low frequency response and punchy sound. I play metal and like the sturdyness of the capsule, and it can definitely take a hit or two without breaking (unlike Shure SM57). I would however recommend to buy another tom mount than the audix ones as they are made of plastic and hard to fixate (they tend to rattle a bit and not stay in place). I bought a kit of microphones and one additional D4 for the extra floor tom i have and it sound awesome.
