Audix D6 Instrument Microphone

Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix, the D6 is a dynamic instrument microphone used for stage, studio, and broadcast applications. The D6 is characterized by a cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control and is equipped with a VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction.  

The D6 is lightweight, compact, and easy to position. With a tailored frequency response of 30 Hz - 15 kHz and the ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 144 dB, the D6 is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring extended low-frequency reproduction such as kick drums, large toms, and bass cabinets.  

The D6 is manufactured with a precision-machined aluminum body, black anodized finish, steel mesh grill, and gold-plated XLR connector. Transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow for interference-free performance even with long cable runs.
