The Audix D4 drum microphone features the frequency and sensitivity response required for accurately reproducing signals from drums and percussion instruments. The D4 features a dynamic element capable of reproducing signals with high transients (peaks) without noise associated with distortion and overload. The 38Hz to 19kHz frequency response provides extended response at the low-frequency range. The extended range results in accurate pick up of large percussion instruments such as kick drum, djembe, kettle drum and floor toms. The hyper-cardioid polar pattern provides a "tight" pick up area at the front of the capsule. Ambiance and noise at the off-axis sections of the microphone are greatly reduced, resulting in high signal-to-noise ratio. Hyper-Cardioid Polar Pattern The hyper-cardioid polar pattern is effective in eliminating noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphone. Extended Low-Frequency Response The 38Hz to 19kHz frequency response provides extended response at the low-frequency range. The extended range results in accurate pick up of large percussion instruments such as kick drum, djembe, kettle drum and floor toms. High SPL Handling The D4 can accurately handle signals with sound pressure levels registering at 144dB. Transient peaks are reproduced without distortion due to overload.
