MSRP: $219 Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone

Audix D2

Description

Dynamic hypercardioid drum and instrument microphone… contoured response to accentuate low end and punch. Suited to toms, brass instruments.

Like the other D-series Audix dynamics, the D2 has a good reputation online, especially for tom applications. Gearslutz members compare it favorably to the Sennheiser MD421.

The D2 case is identical in size and shape to the D1 and D4. All are milled from a solid block of aluminum and finished in black. The D2 can be distinguished from the other models by the logo stamped on the mic, and by the color of the fine-mesh blast screen inside the black grille; on the D2, the inner screen is black.

The Audix D2 is also known as: D-2.

The mic was released in 1997.
