Audix D2 Review /
See
All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
The D2 offers a tight pattern and
small size, which makes it a good candidate for percussion and rack toms. It
has a full midrange response and a fairly even top end response that overall
isn’t too spiky. The low end is not real full sounding, so it’s not going to
give a big image. Good mic as part of a supporting cast on a drum kit, or
medium congas etc. On guitar cab they offer a full range response without a
flubby low end, and not too tizzy sounding on top.
Conclusion: The D2 is good for a
midrange focus on sound, and when placement is critical due to its small size.
Small to medium drums and electric guitars, the D2 does well.
