This is a classic kick drum mic useful also for floor tom, bass cab, tuba, any other instruments producing low end. Comparing with D6 and Beta 52 its little more midrange detailed imo. Nice solid metal body, great build quality. This mic can stand a tour life. A must-have studio and live mic!

I have had one of these microphones for over 20 years, it has been my go to mic for kick drum and I have yet to find anything for any price that matched its performance. Super high SPL (168db) and low frequency response down to 20hz. I just bought another because people are going back to 2 kick drums a lot these days. Also doubles up very well for Saxophone & Low Brass (especially Bari Sax) sounds good on bass guitar amps too. I guess I cannot praise these mics enough, well worth the money, a real workhorse.

Got this a couple years back. It has been sitting for a while and is now used to mic up my bass cab and my drummers bass kick sometimes. Wow what a purchase. Picks up the low frequencies and pushed them through a sub perfectly. Great used product. No ware and tare.

The best bass microphone on the market for the money. I've been recording for about 8 years & have tried several different set up's for bass cabs & bass drums & nothing has the response like AKG D112. I was using an Audix mic & did a side by side comparison & the punch I would get from the Akg was way more defined. I could get the same sound from the Audix but I would of needed a little tweaking on the eq. I would recommend this for anyone who want to record live bass or mic up drumset.
Buying a renowned bass drum mic at this price is astonishing, almost every studio goto Bd mic. Not much more I can say, if your Bd tuned, heads in good condition and understand mic placement, dampening, you cannot go wrong. I use very little to no eq pending location, has all the punch and clarity you can wish for. The only disappointment is no protective hard case, although I transferred the original foam packing into a small hard case. Highly Recommend!
Well, as a drummer of over 33 years of experience, I have found that the AKG-D112 is really Unserpassed for Bass Drum mics! I bought one for a drummer friend of mine years ago, and needed a second one as I use 2 bass drums on my kit. THe one I purchased on E-Bay was used and not working, however besides all of the Great Positive Reviews you can find on line ABOUT the AKG-D112, one thing that you won't find is this..... The are not Only the BEST Mic for Bass drums, the are ALSO excedingly easy to repair if you have basic electrical/Soldering skills! The parts are readily available and easy to replace and repair. The Microphone it's self is a VERY Durable Mic! And lastly, there ARE other Mics out there that are Good Mics and will do a decent job, But if you really ... MoreWell, as a drummer of over 33 years of experience, I have found that the AKG-D112 is really Unserpassed for Bass Drum mics!

This is possibly, the most widely used microphone for kick drums. It's versatile, rugged, and sounds great. This is the 4th one I have purchased. I like to mount them inside my kick drums so I KNOW that wherever I go and whatever sound system I end up on, I have a great chance at getting a good sound. These mics are known for their contemporary punchiness, but with a little subtractive EQ, then can sound retro or even jazzy. I guess the ONLY reason they are so affordable (I paid 150-new) is that now they are made in China, but I can NOT tell the difference at all. This is a must have for 'live' or in the studio...
I have used this microphone to record bass guitar in my home studio - it's not the greatest sound in the world (somewhat boomy and characterless), but my bass amp is not the biggest. I think with a bit of experimentation I could make it sound better, and when blended with the DI signal from the bass it sounds a lot better. So I will definitely persist with this microphone, but perhaps I need to spend a bit more money if I want a truly professional sound from the microphone alone. (I realise that this microphone is designed with bass drums in mind, but plenty of people seem to have used it to record bass guitar as well). It's certainly built sturdily enough.
much sought after industry standard mic. unsurpassed in sound re-enforcement setting. it is easy to achieve high frequency reproduction without a whole lot of effort in a live setting. bass response can be tricky. as a bass player and sound engineer i have found that the room dictates the method of bass reproduction for pa systems. the akg d112 is a valuable tool when insuring a distinction between the bass drum and bass guitar in the mix. when utilizing the pa for a large bass rig, as is usually the case when a line in or direct box is used for bass guitar, the engineer can then optimize the sound for the bass as a guitar. this leaves the field wide open for options on shelving the frequencies in different spots in the mix for the bass drum. i have found that by ... Moremuch sought after industry standard mic. unsurpassed in sound re-enforcement setting. it is easy to achieve high frequency reproduction without a whole lot of effort in a live setting. bass response can be tricky. as a bass player and sound engineer i have found that the room dictates the method of bass reproduction for pa systems. the akg d112 is a valuable tool when insuring a distinction between the bass drum and bass guitar in the mix. when utilizing the pa for a large bass rig, as is usually the case when a line in or direct box is used for bass guitar, the engineer can then optimize the sound for the bass as a guitar. this leaves the field wide open for options on shelving the frequencies in different spots in the mix for the bass drum. i have found that by merely reading the specs on the akg d112 years ago, that a slight bump in frequency on the 4-5khz range on the bass drum will maintain its attack and presence in the mix. the akg d112 has this characteristic inherent in its design. also a much wider usable frequency range down to 60 and even 50hz. thats thump that u can feel without as much mud as a lesser mic will re-produce. this is especially useful in a hall or room with a lot of wood present. wood tends to resonate the bass frequencies in a number a varying ways. akg d112 mics are also useful in an outdoor venue as they posesss a clarity throughout the frequency range down to 60hz. what im trying to say pal, is that every working sound technician needs at least 1 akg d112. get one and throw that old bass drum mic you've been using on the floor tom. i would only hope that it is a mxr, nady or even a shure beta52 and not a sm58...rock, be rocked, or stand aside.
