AUDIX D2
SPECIFICATIONS:
ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS:
The microphone shall be of the dynamic type operating on the moving coil principle and the
capsule shall be VLM Type B. The polar pattern of the microphone shall be hypercardioid. The
nominal output impedance shall be 250 ohms at 1 kHz.The microphone shall have a sensitivity of
1.2 mV / Pa at 1 kHz and will handle a sound pressure level of ≥144 dB. The microphone body
shall be machined of aluminum and the grill cap shall be steel wire mesh. The overall dimensions
shall be 21.5 mm in diameter at the base, 39 mm in diameter at the widest point and 100 mm in
length. The microphone shall be the Audix D2.
OPERATION:
The D2 is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into a “mic level” of your console,
mixer, or recording device. Please note that your microphone does not require phantom power
and will not be effected in any way by phantom power should it be running simultaneously while
the microphone is in operation. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from the PA system
unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system turned down. Failure to do so may result
in a loud “popping” noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
USER TIPS:
The D2 has an extremely tight (hypercardioid) pick-up pattern in order to help eliminate sound
from other instruments on stage from “bleeding” into the microphone. For this reason, the D2 is
exceptionally effective in capturing the sound of each component of a drum or percussion kit.
Drums, hand percussion: As a general rule, the bottom of the D2 grill should be 1-2 inches
above the head of the drum and pointed towards the center. For more “ring” pull the mic back
towards the rim. For less ring and more overtones, position the mic 1-2 inches inside the ring. For
more attack, place the mic very close to the head and for more overtones and decay move the
mic further away from the head.
Guitar cabinets: The D2 can be placed within 1-2 inches of the grill cover at a 90 degree angle
pointing directly into the speaker. If the mic is placed closer to the edge of the speaker, you will
minimize the higher frequencies and get a warmer, fatter tone. To capture more highs, move the
mic closer towards the center of the speaker, but avoid the middle of the speaker.
Horns: Place the mic within 1-2 inches of the bell, especially when on a stage with drums, bass,
guitar, etc. For jazz, classical, and music where the stage volume is lower, the mic can be placed
further away for a richer, fuller sound.
