Audix celebrate their 40th Anniversary with this superb D6X microphone worth £1170$1800. Enter now to win!
This year, microphone legends AUDIX celebrate their 40th anniversary, and to mark the occasion they’re releasing a limited edition of their latest microphone: the D6X.
A moving-coil cardioid microphone, the D6 employs a technology that AUDIX have spent four decades honing: VLM, or Very Low Mass diaphragms. By making the diaphragms in their dynamic mics as lightweight as possible, AUDIX are able to produce moving‑coil microphones with impressively low distortion and extended high- and low-frequency bandwidth. And nowhere is an extended frequency response as important as it is in front of a kick drum.
The D6 is considered by many to be the best kick mic around, thanks to a low end that reaches down to 30Hz, impressive SPL handling capability of 145dB, up to 20dB of off-axis rejection, and a frequency response that brings out the best in bass drums. But it’s far from just a kick mic: the D6 performs admirably on bass cabinets, brass instruments, guitar amps and more.
The Prizes
To celebrate AUDIX’s 40th birthday, and the launch of the new D6X, we’re giving you the chance to win one of six Limited Edition D6X mics. The new D6X model has all the sonic attributes that made the D6 a classic, but features additional filtering options for unsurpassed flexibility.
