  A lot of people really love this mic on the kick drum, but against my Beta 52, I don't have as much love for it. The mic can sound great, but it needs quite a bit of EQing to get it to sound the way I usually like, and it's much more picky about its placement. Though it has a higher frequency range than the Shure, the natural EQ of the mic doesn't tend to sit as well in a mix for me, and I often have to dial in a little more mid-range to get the "click" to sound more full and less puny.
  
  
  
  On a bass cab, however, I absolutely LOVE this mic. Not sure what it is about this thing, but it just sounds fantastic on bass amps. It's not often that I'm micing bass amps, but when I do, the D112 is always the mic I try first; on very rare occasion do I ever even try a different mic. The D112 just works on bass.

  The AKG Acoustics D 112 is a very popular microphone among drummers and engineers. It is a standard mic to use on kick drum, and it sees use in live and recording situations all around the world. It is a dynamic microphone, naturally, and it has a cardioid polar pattern. The AKG D 112 has a frequency response that starts down at 20 Hz and extends surprisingly high: it goes up to 17,000 Hz, and the frequency response is tailored to kick drum, although it has been very successfully used on lower frequency instruments like floor toms, bass cabinets, and other things. It has two peaks, one is a low frequency peak down at 100 Hz, and there is a very noticeable mid high presence peak up around 3,500 Hz. What is absolutely remarkable about the AKG D 112 is its massive sound pressure level handling abilities, as it is actually able to toleration high sound pressure levels of up to 160 dB!

  Opzioni Generali

  What I find remarkable about the AKG Acoustics D 112 is the simple fact that I cannot objectively point out how good it sounds. The microphone is not really something that one can understand until one has used it. I have reviewed other low frequency microphones before, and I have been extremely satisfied with them, but the simple truth is, this microphone blows them away in strange ways I could not expect it to do so. No matter how happy you may be with your current microphone on kick drum, I have not a single fear of being overtly sensational when I say that the D 112 is hands down, the most punchy, explosive, but still clean and tight kick drum microphone that one can use.
  
  
  
  Here is the kicker. I liked it on vocals. I was curious about how that would work out, and the AKG D 112 worked spectacularly for louder, more percussive vocal work, and especially well for voice over. It is because of the two peaks across the spectrum.
  
  
  
  All in all, the D 112 is incredible. Try it.

  Caratteristiche

  Before I bought my D 112, I tried different types of mics, but none of them could deliver the punchy low frequency that I needed - but none of them were designed for kick drum either. Once I put this mic up to the sound port on my kick drum, I knew I had the right mic. It gave me the low end I was looking for, but also transferred all the energy that went with it.

  Opzioni Generali

  To me this mic is rather finicky though. You have to position it just right to get the sound you want. I haven't tried other mics that claim that you don't need to find the "sweet spot" though. After the experiences I have had with microphones, I am still skeptical about those claims. So, with what I know about this mic, I like it and will continue using it.
  
  
  
  This mic is great for bass cabs as well. Once again, you need to position the mic properly. Then again, it all depends on what sound you want too. Maybe you would like a different sound for a change.
  
  
  
  Overall, The AKG D112 is my go to kick drum microphone. It has the low end you need for most recordings when used as the sole microphone on kick drum. For extra low-end goodness, pair with a subkick mic (homemade ones can work great!). I've found this mic gets nice and aggressive when you boost the highs a 3k and cut some mud, don't be shy about boosting the highs, it will help it sit in the mix. Don't think twice, use the D 112! Brand new this mic doesn’t cost too much, AKG D112 is a very affordable mic that can really take your drums sounds to the next level so you can record them and have them sitting perfect in your mixes.

  The classic! This is the mic you need on kick drum. It gets all the low end, doesn't distort, and has a nice peak in the mids to get the "click." It sounds as good on stage as in the studio. It's also very sensitive to placement, so you can get a lot of different sounds just by moving it around in relation to the drum or beater.
  
  
  
  You can also, obviously, use this to mic a bass amp, and this gets good (though not as versatile) results. The mid-peak that sounds so good on kick drum gives you a very aggressive sounding sound on electric bass guitar. It sounds weird, I know, but I actually feel like you get a warmer, smoother sound on bass guitar using an SM57.
  
  
  
  Here's the real surprise, though: this thing sounds *great* on electric guitar. There isn't that much low frequency information coming from the guitar amp, so you're not really using the full range of what the mic is capable of, but the mid punch combined with fullness is exactly what you want from rhythm guitar tone. The D112 is my secret weapon for recording the non-lead guitar.

  Opzioni Generali

  It does what it's supposed to do (kick drum, bass) and some of what it isn't (electric guitar) really well. There's still things I want to try it on, like maybe combining it with a small-diaphragm condenser on acoustic guitar solo.
  
  
  
  I have two of these and I wish I had a third.

  Caratteristiche

  The AKG D112 is an awesome kick drum mic. This mic is pretty much the studio and live reinforcement standard for kick drum miking, if there is one. The mic is a dynamic and has a unique sort of side address shape. It has an extra large and wide diaphragm so it can collect some of the longer, deeper frequency waves. It comes with the hard clip and a carry case for it. The sound of the mic itself is great right away. The lows are very deep and extended. If you put this inside of the kick drum and sort of angle it at the beater but from the center of the drum, you are going to get a very meaty yet balanced kick sound. The frequency response is set up so that the mic will get a lot of the low end punch at the sub 100 Hz area, but there is definitely some hype in the presence area so that your kick doesn't just get lost under a ton of bass guitar and electric guitar.

  Opzioni Generali

  I have been using these for so many years, and they always do a good job with kick drums. A lot of other engineers swear by using this mic on bass amp cabs, but I definitely tend to stick with just recording bass with DI and nothing else. Anything you're recording that needs a solid low end, you should consider throwing up a D 112 even if you combine it with another condenser mic to get some more definition in the higher frequencies. The mic is in all kinds of venues and studios for a reason, it is great at what it does. It's designed for a specific purpose so the recordist who is just starting out with a limited budget can probably wait on picking one of these up, but anyone serious about doing some multi-tracking should invest in one of these. I would definitely get mine again if something happened to it. It's a very good value for the money.

  This is AKG's version of a kick drum mic. It is a dynamic moving coil mic with an extra large capsule. It is side address, which I feel is kind of a pain considering that you will often want to stick this inside of a kick drum and have the capsule facing the front head. Because of this you will have to do some tricky maneuvering with a mini mic stand. It doesn't need any phantom power and it connects with an XLR cable. It is a cardioid polar pattern, which can't be changed with a switch. There isn't a pad in case you have an extra loud kick drum, but the SPL's you can record with this mic without getting any distortion are very high. This mic also happens to look very cool.

  Opzioni Generali

  I have been using this inside of a kick drum for years. I usually go between this mic and Audix's D6, which is a very comparable mic. I find that the D6 will get you more low end on your kick sound, but the AKG will get you a sound that is easier to mix in with your song and have it still cut through. I have used a few kick drum mics and this one along with the Audix D6 are the two best ones out there, which is good news since they are pretty cheap at only $200. One thing I don't like about this mic is that the frequency response after about 5k goes down very quickly, but sometimes you do want a little bit of air on your kick track, especially if you are miking it outside of the drum. So in that case, you would have to use excessive EQ to try to regain some of that. It is a very good mic overall, and I would recommend it.

  The AKG D112 can be used in either a live or studio setting. It is commonly utilized for the kick drum, but I have had much success in using it to mic my bass cabinet to run either into the PA system or for recording. This a uni-directional microphone that can be placed directly in front of the impact point on the bass drum without be overdriven. The familiar egg shaped design can be recognized almost instantly as a vital component to any live or studio sound artillery.

  Opzioni Generali

  I have been using the D112 for around three years. It is very durable, and never breaks up when faced with a strong bass drum or bass guitar signal. That is what I like most about the microphone - what more could one ask? It replicates sound extremely well, with clarity and punch. I have not used any of the comparable microphones that are on the market, because the D112 is known to be the industry standard. Given the durability of the product, and the excellent results that it produces, I believe it to be a great value for anyone serious about replication of bass drum or guitar tones for live or studio purposes. If mine were stolen or lost, you can be sure that I would be pulling together my resources to purchase a new one. As a steadily working musician, I could not begin to count the number of D112's that I have seen on stage or in the studio over the years. The fact that its use is so widespread amongst working musicians and studio owners speaks volumes about the product. Additionally, AKG is one of the most respected names in the industry, and has been producing fantastic microphones for at least 50 years. Obviously, I would have no problem in recommending this microphone to anyone, and also have no problem in giving it a perfect score on this review.

  Caratteristiche

  The AKG D112 is a great dynamic microphone. I've used it both in a live and recording setting, but mostly in a recording setting. I use it mostly on kick drums, but also bass guitar amps. The design and low frequency response make it easy to place around or inside or a kick drum or right up easy the grill of a bass amp.

  Opzioni Generali

  I've had the AKG D112 for about 4 years now. When I got it I also got the Shure Beta 52A so that I could have a shootout with the two and see which one I liked best as my kick drum mic. I choose the D112 because to me it gives a tighter sound. I also love the design of it as it is easy to set up and place. The D112 and the Beta 52a are pretty much the industry standards for kick drum, and in my own experience it seems that I've seen the D112 used more in the studio setting than the 52a. As far as price goes, it isn't overly expensive and is the price you must pay if you want a quality dynamic mic like this. If you are serious about recording drums I would strongly consider looking into this microphone for the kick drum.
