« AKG D-112 »
Published on 11/03/01 at 15:00The AKG D-112 is a microphone designed for bass drum, bass cabinets, or any other low-frequency, high pressure output systems. I have experimented with many bass drum mics, but the AKG far surpasses any other in it's category. You get lots of punch, and it is very sensitive to equalization. The unit itself is light and unobtrusive, yet rugged in design. Cost ranges from about $190.00 to 250.00, depending of course where you purchase it. I got mine for the lower end range thru SamAsh.com. (very reputable dealer, and they will meet or beat any legitimate price) I would strongly recommend to anyone that is looking for the absolute best in bass drum microphones to give the AKG a try. Yes, there are cheaper ones out there, but like the old saying goes: "You get what you pay for".
Positive characteristics are: durability, design, price, appearance, and of course performance.
absolutely nothing is on the "minus list"
Very durable, and built quite well. Unobtrusive design.
For the money, I firmly believe this is as good as it gets. You can obviously spend alot more money if you like, but you will not surpass the sound quality this unit puts out.
