Audix D4 Description
Hyper-Cardioid
Dynamic Drum and Instrument Microphone
Designed,
machined, assembled and tested by Audix in the
USA, the D4 is a dynamic instrument
microphone used for stage, studio and broadcast applications. The D4, which is
characterized with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback
control, is equipped with a VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for natural,
accurate sound reproduction.
The D4 is lightweight, compact and easy to position. With a wide frequency
response of 40 Hz - 18 kHz and the ability to handle sound pressure levels in
excess of 144 dB, the D4 is an excellent choice for miking instruments
requiring precise low frequency reproduction such as large rack toms, floor toms,
cajon, djembe, tympani, leslie bottom, bass flute, sax and baritone sax,
trombone, acoustic bass, bass cabs and small kick drums.
Roadworthy construction includes a precision machined aluminum body, black
anodized finish, laser etched model and serial number, steel mesh grill,
Switchcraft® XLR connector and includes a tension-fit heavy duty nylon mic
clip.
Transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow for
interference-free performance even with long cable runs.

Audix D4 Review /
See
All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
Hypercardioid dynamic mic with a
more full range response, but similar to the D2 in sound except for its ability
to reproduce low end much better. Even on rack toms the D4 would be preferred
for its bigger sound, and they can pull floor tom and smaller kick drum duties
as well. Guitar cabs and bass cabs can both benefit from the D4, it’s not a
woofy low end response but just more full for the D series.
Conclusion: A more full range
version of the D2, the D4 would be more desirable for its full sound and tight
pattern.
