Customer reviews about Audix D2

My first choice for toms

Radney Stanchev 16.04.2020

The D2 is great for instruments where transients are a distinctive character of the instrument (such as percussion). I prefer the D2 for micing toms than SM57s. I even tried it with great results for micing bass and guitar cabs.
In my opinion, the mic reveals the closest sound to what you are hearing in the room. I rarely feel the need for EQ. At the same time, there is a bit of a dip between around 510hz and 1.2k that really helps with clarity and carving out some of the mud. Also, I like its size weight and form factor, making it easy to use with a clamp or stand.
This gives the opportunity for very versatile placement in tight spaces or under low hanging cymbals. The bleed from cymbals is very little. The last thing is the price, which is great value for the money, and I would not be too concerned for the drummer hitting it, compared to Sennheiser MD421.

Modern sound, reasonable price

bobcat66 14.12.2025

I needed a replacement for my SM57s and preferably something with better rejection to avoid my snare overwhelming the tom sound. I got two of these for my 13" and 14" toms. They give a modern sound, and they take up less space and are easier to place than the SM57. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Great for toms and guitar cabs

luffarvante 08.07.2021

As expected the microphone sounds really good on toms.
It's easy to position without taking up to much space and is durable and easy to transport.
A nice bonus is that it works REALLY well for capturing high-gain guitar, for things like metal.
Paired with an SM57 as dark mic (using the Audix as bright mic on another speaker cone) it gives you a great sound.

Highly recommended!

Perfect for Toms

Erdna Eduan 10.06.2022

I have four - one for each tom including the floor tom. Small body means it stays out of the way and doesn't interfere with playing. Great sound - highly recommended.

Special for toms

FREENDS 07.08.2017

We needed a reinforcement for our Audix 4 pieces drum kit (kick, snare and 2 overhead) and now we have a full coverage of the drums, either for recording purposes or for live applications.
The sound is impressive and well picked up by the mic.

It has a metal chassis which provides robust housing and a good look.
It isn't surely cheap but it is worth the price!
