Einfach ein geiles BD-Mikrofon!
Durch das "Badewannen"-Sounding und der hohen SPL-Resistenz ist dieses Mikrofon einfach perfekt für die Bassdrum. Sehr viel Low-End und Attack. Für härtere Gangarten gibt es m.M.n. in diesem und auch höheren Preisbereichen keinen Vergleich!
Wenn man einen sehr räumlichen oder sehr natürlichen Bassdrum-Sound möchte (für Jazz o.ä.) gäbe es bestimmt auch passendere Optionen.

Great kick mic
The enhanced low and perfectly set attack frequency makes this the best kick mic on the market.

Awesome on floor tom, and kick!
This is my second D6, bought it to use on the floor tom for metal/rock bands, already having one to use on the kick. For the kick i pair it with a Beta 91a, both of these mics are great on their own, but put them together and they're huge. Plus its great to know if the cable to either of them goes faulty i can mix the rest of the show with either mic.
They both pair well with LP Claws, for discrete positioning.

10/10
I simply loved it from the first session, clear bass response and improved live performance. i use it for back of a cajon or an djembe, in studio for low tuned percussions, it works perfect. Durable and all i need from this mic is achieved

Fantastic drum mic
Audix makes great mics! This one is fantastic on both kick and toms. It's not flat in it's frequency response by far, but the sound is excellent. It gives me both the thud and the click in one mic. I mainly mix rock music so I'm not necessarily looking for the most "authentic" sounding kick drum though.
For genres where you want a more acoustic and natural drum sound there might be better mics. But if you want your kick to cut through heavy guitars, this is one of the best mics you'll find.
I kinda want to compare it to the Shure Beta 52A, but tuned even harder for "that" kick sound. And it's not nearly as big and heavy as the Beta (it's under half the weight), so no need to use a double round base stand to keep it from tipping over.

Audix D6
It is designed for bass drum and it sounds amazing on bass drum. Very nice and worm sound. it reproduces low end and high end at the same time if positioned correctly. It has great background noise reduction. I used it a few times on guitar cabs, but wasn't really convinced due to lack of mid frequency response, there are just many different mics for electric guitar recording anyway, so lets give it ''VERY GOOD'' for being a great kick drum recording microphone. I am loving it and I am well proud to have it in my microphones cupboard.

Audix D6
Fantastic Kick Drum Mic! I use it on the inside of a 18" Kick drum and gives me nice attack and a big bottom end. I have tried others kick mics in the past and this one has been the best so far. Great build and quality.

Good Kick Out mic to use on a heavier genre of music. Gives a more punchy kick and polish finish. Only down side is the mic clip they supplied with- it can break easily so have a spare mic clip handy.

The Rock/Metal weapon
I got this mic because I heard that the german band Rammstein used it live and I like their sound so I thought that I have to get one of these.
When I got it and unpacked it I placed it in the hole in my bass drum head, wired it and startet to play.
This day changed my live. I never heard a better sounding mic for a rock/metal bass drum. There was no need to eq the mic. The D6 has automaticly a little more gain at 80Hz and at 3500Hz, which is nice for rock/metal. The sound is equal to a combination of an e901 and a shure beta 52.
The price is also very nice compared to other microfones, a little bit higher but you know what you get.
And for the rock/metal bass drum it is the best.
