AKG D112 MKII Pro Overview The AKG D112 MKII Pro Dynamic Bass Microphone is a successor to AKG’s D112 and previous D12 dynamic microphones, and it is well-known for its ability to handle high-level sounds from bass drums and bass guitars in the studio. The microphone was built with a low resonance frequency and can tolerate extremely strong transient impulses with minimal distortion. It has a wide dynamic range, a strong signal-to-noise ratio, and can handle high sound volumes without distortion. The high frequency response has been optimized to keep the bass drum and bass guitar distinctly separate in the mix. With a built-in windshield, the D112 is also appropriate for high SPL instruments like the trombone and tuba. Kick drum mic with extremely high SPL capacity The D112 MKII has garnered a well-deserved global reputation as the greatest kick drum microphone ever built. That is because its 160dB peak SPL rating allows it to withstand almost any signal. Drummers with heavy feet will not be intimidated. The D112 MKII operates well under those conditions, with little perceptible distortion. Stop running a microphone meant for your singer’s voice over your bass drum. Give your kick the sound it deserves with the AKG D112 MKII. Specially designed diaphragm for superior low-frequency response The D112 MKII’s specifically developed diaphragm with a very low resonance frequency provides a firm and powerful response below 100Hz, while a narrow band presence increase at 4kHz cuts through dense mixes with little or no EQ. The result is a kick drum sound that strikes an excellent mix between accurate clarity and strong impact. The D112 MKII is also well-suited for usage with bass cabinets, trombones, and other bass instruments. MKII has an extremely flexible mount. The AKG D112 is without a doubt the industry standard for bass drum miking. However, the hard mic stand mount may make it difficult to position the microphone precisely to capture the desired sound. The D112 MKII addresses this issue with an inbuilt flexible mount. The D112 MKII may now be placed in your kick drum, set flat against a bass cabinet, or angled in any other way you choose. A flexible microphone is even more adaptable than previously. AKG D112 MKII Dynamic Microphone Features: Large diaphragm dynamic microphone. The integrated microphone mount is flexible. Excellent performance from a low-cost bass drum microphone. Perfect cardioid mic for kick drums and other low-frequency noises. Large-diaphragm technology delivers strong bass response.
