Instrument Microphones

The D6 dynamic instrument microphone is used for stage, studio, and broadcast applications. Designed with a cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control, the D6 drum microphone is equipped with a VLM™ diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction.

Lightweight, compact, and easy to position, the D6 cardioid microphone is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring extended low-frequency reproduction such as kick drums, large toms, and bass cabinets. The D6’s transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output allow for interference-free performance.

Excellent choice for:

• kick drums
• large toms
• bass cabinets.

Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA.

RØDE NT55 is a small-diaphragm, true-condenser cardioid microphone, sometimes referred to as a 'pencil mic'. The NT55 adds both a three position pad (0, -10dB, -20dB) and three stage high pass filter (Off, 75Hz, 150Hz), and includes the interchangeable NT45-O omnidirectional capsule.

• Externally biased condenser
• Cardioid or Omni polar pattern using included interchangable capsules
• Gold sputtered 1/2” capsule
• Three position PAD - 0dB, -10dB and -20dB
• Three position High-Pass Filter - flat, 75Hz and 150Hz
• Surface mount circuitry
• Low noise

The e 614 is a super-cardioid condenser microphone, designed for demanding instrument recordings and performances that require extended frequency response, high SPL handling, fast transient response and compact size. While drumset overhead miking was the first design priority, the e614 also works exceptionally well on percussion setups as well, fitting comfortably into tight setups. The e 614 can handle high SPLs and features medium sensitivity, which ensures reduced bleed from other instruments on stage. Because of its excellent acoustic properties, this mic is also ideal for home recording.

• 40-20,000 Hz
• Designed for demanding applications where extended frequency range, high SPL handling, fast transient response and small size are required 
• Captures the shimmer and the contact of sticks, mallets and hands
• Nearly flat response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz and a supercardioid pattern

Extended high frequency response and supercardioid pick-up pattern for higher signal output, cuts through high on-stage sound levels. Smooth warm tonal response and full dynamic range, with presence lift for vocal clarity and projection. Consistent on/off axis and proximity response maintain sound quality while moving, providing greater on-stage freedom. 

Full metal construction and extensive suspension and shock-mounting minimize handling noise and signal interference. High output performance microphone, offering power, clarity and projection (also available with a switch: e 845-S).

• Dynamic super-cardioid microphone for speech and vocals
• Extended high frequency range
• Consistent sound quality (varying distances, moving off axis)
• Handles high sound pressure levels
• Optional silent on/off switch
• Isolates handling noise, hum compensating coil
• Excellent feedback rejection
• Rugged metal housing
