User Manual

OVERVIEW:

Designed, machined, assembled and tested by Audix in the

USA, the D2 is a dynamic instrument microphone used for stage,

studio and broadcast applications. The D2 is characterized with

a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control

and is equipped with a VLM™ (Very Low Mass) diaphragm for

natural, accurate sound reproduction.

The D2 is lightweight, compact and easy to position. With a wide

frequency response of 80 Hz - 18 kHz and the ability to handle

sound pressure levels in excess of 144 dB, the D2 is an excellent

choice for miking instruments with a percussive nature such as

rack toms, congas, saxophone, guitar cabinets and brass.

Roadworthy construction includes a precision machined

aluminum body, black anodized nish, laser etched model and

serial number, steel mesh grill, Switchcraft® XLR connector and

includes a tension-t heavy duty nylon mic clip.

Transformerless design, low impedance and balanced output

allow for interference-free performance even with long cable runs.

APPLICATIONS:

Rack toms, congas, floor tom

Guitar and bass cabinets

Saxophone, brass
